0b011
Match VMID and CONTEXTIDR_EL1. DBGBVR
n
_EL1[31:0] is a context ID,
and DBGBVR
n
_EL1[47:32] is a VMID.
• BT[2]: Mismatch.
RES0
.
• BT[0]: Enable linking.
LBN, [19:16]
Linked breakpoint number. For Linked address matching breakpoints, this specifies the index of
the Context-matching breakpoint linked to.
SSC, [15:14]
Security State Control. Determines the Security states under which a Breakpoint debug event for
breakpoint
n
is generated.
This field must be interpreted with the
Higher Mode Control
(HMC), and
Privileged Mode
Control
(PMC), fields to determine the mode and security states that can be tested.
See the
Arm
®
Architecture Reference Manual Armv8, for Armv8-A architecture profile
for
possible values of the HMC and PMC fields.
HMC, [13]
Hyp Mode Control bit. Determines the debug perspective for deciding when a breakpoint debug
event for breakpoint
n
is generated.
This bit must be interpreted with the SSC and PMC fields to determine the mode and security
states that can be tested.
See the
Arm
®
Architecture Reference Manual Armv8, for Armv8-A architecture profile
for
possible values of the SSC and PMC fields.
RES0, [12:9]
RES0
Reserved.
BAS, [8:5]
Byte Address Select. Defines which half-words a regular breakpoint matches, regardless of the
instruction set and execution state. A debugger must program this field as follows:
0x3
Match the T32 instruction at DBGBVR
n
_EL1.
0xC
Match the T32 instruction at DBGBVR
n
+2_EL1.
0xF
Match the A64 or A32 instruction at DBGBVR
n
_EL1, or context match.
All other values are reserved.
The Armv8-A architecture does not support direct execution of Java bytecodes. BAS[3] and
BAS[1] ignore writes and on reads return the values of BAS[2] and BAS[0] respectively.
See the
Arm
®
Architecture Reference Manual Armv8, for Armv8-A architecture profile
for more
information on how the BAS field is interpreted by hardware.
