Watchpoints
Entry into debug state following a watchpointed memory access is imprecise. This is
necessary because of the nature of the pipeline.
External logic, such as external watchpoint comparators, can be built to extend the
functionality of the EmbeddedICE-RT logic. Their output must be applied to the
DBGDEWPT
input. This signal is simply ORed with the internally-generated
Watchpoint
signal before being applied to the ARM9E-S core control logic. The timing
of the input makes it unlikely that data-dependent external watchpoints are possible.
After a watchpointed access, the next instruction in the processor pipeline is always
allowed to complete execution. Where this instruction is a single-cycle data-processing
instruction, entry into debug state is delayed for one cycle while the instruction
completes. The timing of debug entry following a watchpointed load in this case is
shown in Figure 8-5.

Note
Although instruction 5 enters the Execute stage, it is not executed, and there is no state
update as a result of this instruction. When the debugging session is complete, normal
continuation involves a return to instruction 5, the next instruction in the code sequence
to be executed.
