EDCIDSR, External Debug Context ID Sample Register

The EDCIDSR characteristics are:

Purpose

Contains the sampled value of the Context ID, captured on reading EDPCSR[31:0].

Configuration

EDCIDSR is in the Core power domain.

This register is present only when FEAT_PCSRv8 is implemented and FEAT_PCSRv8p2 is not implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to EDCIDSR are RES0.

Implemented only if the OPTIONAL PC Sample-based Profiling Extension is implemented in the external debug registers space.

Note

FEAT_PCSRv8p2 implements the PC Sample-based Profiling Extension in the Performance Monitors registers space.

Attributes

EDCIDSR is a 32-bit register.

Field descriptions

The EDCIDSR bit assignments are:

313029282726252423222120191817161514131211109876543210
CONTEXTIDR

CONTEXTIDR, bits [31:0]

Context ID. The value of CONTEXTIDR that is associated with the most recent EDPCSR sample. When the most recent EDPCSR sample was generated:

Because the value written to EDCIDSR is an indirect read of CONTEXTIDR, it is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE whether EDCIDSR is set to the original or new value if EDPCSR samples:

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

Accessing the EDCIDSR

IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED extensions to external debug might make the value of this register UNKNOWN, see 'Permitted behavior that might make the PC Sample-based profiling registers UNKNOWN'.

EDCIDSR can be accessed through the external debug interface:

ComponentOffsetInstance
Debug0x0A4EDCIDSR

This interface is accessible as follows:
