Processor
A processor is the circuitry in a computer system required to process data using the
computer instructions. It is an abbreviation of microprocessor. A clock source, power
supplies, and main memory are also required to create a minimum complete working
computer system.
RealView ICE
A system for debugging embedded processor cores using a JTAG interface.
Reserved
A field in a control register or instruction format is reserved if the field is to be defined
by the implementation, or produces Unpredictable results if the contents of the field are
not zero. These fields are reserved for use in future extensions of the architecture or are
implementation-specific. All reserved bits not used by the implementation must be
written as 0 and read as 0.
SBO
See
Should Be One.
SBZ
See
Should Be Zero.
SBZP
See
Should Be Zero or Preserved.
Scan chain
A scan chain is made up of serially-connected devices that implement boundary scan
technology using a standard JTAG TAP interface. Each device contains at least one TAP
controller containing shift registers that form the chain connected between
TDI
and
TDO
, through which test data is shifted. Processors can contain several shift registers
to enable you to access selected parts of the device.
Should Be One (SBO)
Should be written as 1 (or all 1s for bit fields) by software. Writing a 0 produces
Unpredictable results.
Should Be Zero (SBZ)
Should be written as 0 (or all 0s for bit fields) by software. Writing a 1 produces
Unpredictable results.
Should Be Zero or Preserved (SBZP)
Should be written as 0 (or all 0s for bit fields) by software, or preserved by writing the
same value back that has been previously read from the same field on the same
processor.
Serial-Wire Debug Port
An optional external interface for the DAP that provides a serial-wire bidirectional
debug interface.
Serial-Wire JTAG
Debug Port
A standard debug port that combines JTAG-DP and SW-DP.
SW-DP
