EDRCR, External Debug Reserve Control Register

The EDRCR characteristics are:

Purpose

This register is used to allow imprecise entry to Debug state and clear sticky bits in EDSCR.

Configuration

EDRCR is in the Core power domain.

Attributes

EDRCR is a 32-bit register.

Field descriptions

The EDRCR bit assignments are:

313029282726252423222120191817161514131211109876543210
RES0CBRRQCSPACSERES0

Bits [31:5]

Reserved, RES0.

CBRRQ, bit [4]

Allow imprecise entry to Debug state. The actions on writing to this bit are:

CBRRQMeaning
0b0

No action.

0b1

Allow imprecise entry to Debug state, for example by canceling pending bus accesses.

Setting this bit to 1 allows a debugger to request imprecise entry to Debug state. An External Debug Request debug event must be pending before the debugger sets this bit to 1.

This feature is optional. If this feature is not implemented, writes to this bit are ignored.

CSPA, bit [3]

Clear Sticky Pipeline Advance. This bit is used to clear the EDSCR.PipeAdv bit to 0. The actions on writing to this bit are:

CSPAMeaning
0b0

No action.

0b1

Clear the EDSCR.PipeAdv bit to 0.

CSE, bit [2]

Clear Sticky Error. Used to clear the EDSCR cumulative error bits to 0. The actions on writing to this bit are:

CSEMeaning
0b0

No action.

0b1

Clear the EDSCR.{TXU, RXO, ERR} bits, and, if the PE is in Debug state, the EDSCR.ITO bit, to 0.

Bits [1:0]

Reserved, RES0.

Accessing the EDRCR

EDRCR can be accessed through the external debug interface:
