# TRCSEQSTR, Sequencer State Register

The TRCSEQSTR characteristics are:

## Purpose

Use this to set, or read, the sequencer state.

## Configuration

AArch64 System register TRCSEQSTR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to External register TRCSEQSTR[31:0] .

This register is present only when TRCIDR5.NUMSEQSTATE != 0b000 and ETE is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to TRCSEQSTR are UNDEFINED.

## Attributes

TRCSEQSTR is a 64-bit register.

## Field descriptions

The TRCSEQSTR bit assignments are:

63 | 62 | 61 | 60 | 59 | 58 | 57 | 56 | 55 | 54 | 53 | 52 | 51 | 50 | 49 | 48 | 47 | 46 | 45 | 44 | 43 | 42 | 41 | 40 | 39 | 38 | 37 | 36 | 35 | 34 | 33 | 32
RES0
RES0 | STATE
31 | 30 | 29 | 28 | 27 | 26 | 25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0

#### Bits [63:2]

Reserved, RES0.

#### STATE, bits [1:0]

Set or returns the state of the sequencer.

STATE | Meaning
--- | ---
0b00 | State 0.
0b01 | State 1.
0b10 | State 2.
0b11 | State 3.

On a Trace unit reset, this field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

## Accessing the TRCSEQSTR

Must be programmed if TRCRSCTLR<a>.GROUP == 0b0010 and TRCRSCTLR<a>.SEQUENCER != 0b0000.

Writes are CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE if the trace unit is not in the Idle state.

Reads from this register might return an UNKNOWN value if the trace unit is not in either of the Idle or Stable states.

Accesses to this register use the following encodings:
