Debug interface signals
There are four primary external signals associated with the debug interface:
•
DBGIEBKPT, DBGDEWPT, and EDBGRQ are system requests for the
ARM946E-S to enter debug state.
•
DBGACK is used by the ARM946E-S to flag back to the system that it is in
debug state.
8.6.1
Entry into debug state on breakpoint
Any instruction being fetched from memory is sampled at the end of a cycle. To apply
a breakpoint to that instruction, you must assert the breakpoint signal by the end of the
same cycle. This is shown in Figure 8-7.
Figure 8-7 Breakpoint timing
You can build external logic, such as additional breakpoint comparators, to extend the
breakpoint functionality of the EmbeddedICE-RT logic. The output from the external
logic must be applied to the DBGIEBKPT input. This signal is ORed with the
internally-generated Breakpoint signal before being applied to the ARM9E-S core
control logic. The timing of the input makes it unlikely that data-dependent external
breakpoints are possible.
A breakpointed instruction is allowed to enter the Execute stage of the pipeline, but any
state change as a result of the instruction is prevented. All writes from previous
instructions complete as normal.
