EDWAR, External Debug Watchpoint Address Register

The EDWAR characteristics are:

Purpose

Returns the virtual data address being accessed when a Watchpoint Debug Event was triggered.

This register is part of the Debug registers functional group.

Usage constraints

This register is accessible as follows:

OffDLKOSLKDefault
ErrorErrorErrorRO

Configuration

EDWAR is in the Core power domain. RW fields in this register reset to architecturally UNKNOWN values. These apply only on a Cold reset. The register is not affected by a Warm reset and is not affected by an External debug reset.

Attributes

EDWAR is a 64-bit register.

Field descriptions

The EDWAR bit assignments are:

Bits [63:0]

Watchpoint address. The data virtual address being accessed when a Watchpoint Debug Event was triggered and caused entry to Debug state. This address must be within a naturally-aligned block of memory of power-of-two size no larger than the DC ZVA block size.

The value of this register is UNKNOWN if the PE is in Non-debug state, or if Debug state was entered other than for a Watchpoint debug event.

The value of EDWAR[63:32] is UNKNOWN if Debug state was entered for a Watchpoint debug event taken from AArch32 state.

The EDWAR is subject to the same alignment rules as the reporting of a watchpointed address in the FAR. See 'Determining the memory location that caused a Watchpoint exception' in the ARMv8 ARM, section D2 (AArch64 Self-hosted Debug)

When this register has an architecturally-defined reset value, this field resets to a value that is architecturally UNKNOWN.

Accessing the EDWAR

EDWAR[31:0] can be accessed through the external debug interface:

ComponentOffset
Debug 0x030

EDWAR[63:32] can be accessed through the external debug interface:

ComponentOffset
Debug 0x034
