Description
LOCKUP
Output
LOCKUP gives immediate indication of seriously errant kernel software.
This is the result of the core being locked up because of an unrecoverable
exception following the activation of the processor’s built in system state
protection hardware. For more information about the ARMv7-M
architectural lock up conditions see the ARMv7-M Architecture Reference
Manual.
CURRPRI[7:0]
Output
Indicates what priority interrupt (or base boost) is currently used.
CURRPRI
represents the pre-emption priority, and does not indicate the
secondary priority.
HALTED
Output
In halting debug mode.
HALTED
remains asserted while the core is in
debug.
DBGRESTARTED
Output
Handshake
for
DBGRESTART
.
TXEV
Output
Event transmitted as a result of SEV instruction. This is a single cycle pulse.
TRCENA
Output
Trace Enable. This signal reflects the setting of bit [24] of the Debug
Exception and Monitor Control Register. This signal gate the clock to the
TPIU and ETM blocks to reduce power consumption when trace is
disabled.
INTERNALSTATE[148:0]
Output
Internal state.
BIGEND
Input
Static
endian
select:
1 = big-endian
0 = little-endian
This signal is sampled at reset, and cannot be changed when reset is
inactive.
EDBGRQ
Input
External debug request.
PPBLOCK[5:0]
Input
Reserved. Must be tied to 6’b000000.
STCLK
Input
System Tick Clock.
STCALIB[25:0]
Input
System Tick Calibration.
RXEV
Input
Causes a wakeup from a WFE instruction.
VECTADDR[9:0]
Input
Reserved. Must be tied to 10'b0000000000.
