4. When data access (a data) is specified as a break condition:
The PC value is the start address of the instruction that follows the instruction already executed
when break processing started up. When a data value is added to the break conditions, the
place where the break will occur cannot be specified exactly. The break will occur before the
execution of an instruction fetched around the data access where the break occurred.

PC Trace
1. Setting PCTE in BRCR to 1 enables PC traces. When branch (branch instruction, repeat, and
interrupt) is generated, the address from which the branch source address can be calculated and
the branch destination address are stored in BRSR and BRDR, respectively. The branch
address and the pointer, which corresponds to the branch, are included in BRSR.
2. The branch address before branch occurs can be calculated from the address and the pointer
stored in BRSR. The expression from BSA (the address in BRSR), PID (the pointer in BRSR),
and IA (the instruction address before branch occurs) is as follows: IA = BSA – 2 * PID.
Notes are needed when an interrupt (a branch) is issued before the branch destination
instruction is executed. In case of the next figure, the instruction “Exec” executed immediately
before branch is calculated by IA = BSA – 2 * PID. However, when branch “branch” has delay
slot and the destination address is 4n + 2 address, the address “Dest” which is specified by
branch instruction is stored in BRSR (Dest = BSA). Therefore, as IA = BSA – 2 * PID is not
applied to this case, this PID is invalid. The case where BSA is 4n + 2 boundary is applied only
to this case and then some cases are classified as follows:
Exec: branch
Dest
Dest: instr
(not executed)
interrupt
Int: interrupt routine
If the PID value is odd, instruction buffer indicates PID+2 buffer. However, these expressions
in this table are accounted for it. Therefore, the true branch source address is calculated with
BSA and PID values stored in BRSR.
3. The branch address before branch occurrence, IA, has different values due to some kinds of
branch.
a. Branch instruction
The branch instruction address
b. Interrupt
The last instruction executed before interrupt
The top address of interrupt routine is stored in BRDR.
