TRCBBCTLR, Branch Broadcast Control Register
The TRCBBCTLR controls how branch broadcasting behaves, and allows branch broadcasting to be
enabled for certain memory regions.
Bit field descriptions
The TRCAUXCTLR is a 32-bit register.

RES0, [31:9]
RES0
Reserved.
MODE, [8]
Mode bit:
0
Exclude mode. Branch broadcasting is not enabled in the address range that RANGE
defines.
If RANGE==0 then branch broadcasting is enabled for the entire memory map.
1
Include mode. Branch broadcasting is enabled in the address range that RANGE
defines.
If RANGE==0 then the behavior of the trace unit is constrained
UNPREDICTABLE
. That
is, the trace unit might or might not consider any instructions to be in a branch
broadcast region.
RANGE, [7:0]
Address range field.
Selects which address range comparator pairs are in use with branch broadcasting. Each bit
represents an address range comparator pair, so bit[
n
] controls the selection of address range
comparator pair
n
. If bit[
n
] is:
0
The address range that address range comparator pair
n
defines, is not selected.
1
The address range that address range comparator pair
n
defines, is selected.
Bit fields and details not provided in this description are architecturally defined. See the

The TRCBBCTLR can be accessed through the external debug interface, offset
0x03C
