information on how the BAS field is interpreted by hardware.
[4:3]
Reserved,
RES0
.
PMC, [2:1]
Privileged Mode Control. Determines the exception level or levels that a breakpoint debug event
for breakpoint
n
is generated.
This field must be interpreted with the SSC and HMC 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 fields.
Bits[2:1] have no effect for accesses made in Hyp mode.
E, [0]
Enable breakpoint. This bit enables the BRP:
0
BRP disabled.
1
BRP enabled.
A BRP never generates a breakpoint debug event when it is disabled.
The value of DBGBCR
n
.E is
UNKNOWN
on reset. A debugger must ensure that DBGBCR
n
.E has
a defined value before it enables debug.
To access the DBGBCR
n
:
MRC p14, 0, <Rt>, c0, cn, 4; Read Debug Breakpoint Control Register nMCR p14, 0, <Rt>, c0,
cn, 4; Write Debug Breakpoint Control Register n
The DBGBCR
n
_EL1 can be accessed through the external debug interface, offset
0x4n8
. The range of
bits for DBGBCR
n
_EL1 is 0 to 5.
