EDECR, External Debug Execution Control Register

The EDECR characteristics are:

Purpose

Controls Halting debug events.

Configuration

If ARMv8.3-DoPD is implemented, this register is in the Core power domain.

If ARMv8.3-DoPD is not implemented, this register is in the Debug power domain.

Attributes

EDECR is a 32-bit register.

Field descriptions

The EDECR bit assignments are:

313029282726252423222120191817161514131211109876543210
RES0SSRCEOSUCE

Bits [31:3]

Reserved, RES0.

SS, bit [2]

Halting step enable. Possible values of this field are:

SSMeaning
0b0

Halting step debug event disabled.

0b1

Halting step debug event enabled.

If the value of EDECR.SS is changed when the PE is in Non-debug state, behavior is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE as described in 'Changing the value of EDECR.SS when not in Debug state' in the Arm® Architecture Reference Manual, Armv8, for Armv8-A architecture profile.

The following resets apply:

RCE, bit [1]

When ARMv8.3-DoPD is not implemented:

Reset Catch Enable.
