DBGCLAIMCLR, Debug Claim Tag Clear register

The DBGCLAIMCLR characteristics are:

Purpose

Used by software to read the values of the CLAIM tag bits, and to clear these bits to 0.

The architecture does not define any functionality for the CLAIM tag bits.

Note

CLAIM tags are typically used for communication between the debugger and target software.

Used in conjunction with the DBGCLAIMSET register.

This register is part of the Debug registers functional group.

Configuration

There is one instance of this register that is used in both Secure and Non-secure states.

AArch32 System register DBGCLAIMCLR is architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register DBGCLAIMCLR_EL1.

AArch32 System register DBGCLAIMCLR is architecturally mapped to External register DBGCLAIMCLR_EL1.

An implementation must include 8 CLAIM tag bits.

This register is in the Cold reset domain. See the CLAIM field description for the effect of a Cold reset on the value returned by this register. This register is not affected by a Warm reset.

Attributes

DBGCLAIMCLR is a 32-bit register.

Field descriptions

The DBGCLAIMCLR bit assignments are:

313029282726252423222120191817161514131211109876543210
000000000000000000000000CLAIM

Bits [31:8]

Reserved, RAZ/SBZ. Software can rely on these bits reading as zero, and must use a should-be-zero policy on writes. Implementations must ignore writes.

CLAIM, bits [7:0]

Read or clear CLAIM tag bits. Reading this field returns the current value of the CLAIM tag bits.

Writing a 1 to one of these bits clears the corresponding CLAIM tag bit to 0. This is an indirect write to the CLAIM tag bits. A single write operation can clear multiple CLAIM tag bits to 0.

Writing 0 to one of these bits has no effect.

A cold reset clears the CLAIM tag bits to 0.

Accessing the DBGCLAIMCLR

This register can be read using MRC with the following syntax:

MRC <syntax>

This register can be written using MCR with the following syntax:

MCR <syntax>

This syntax uses the following encoding in the System instruction encoding space:

<syntax> opc1opc2CRncoprocCRm
p14, 0, <Rt>, c7, c9, 6000110011111101001

Accessibility

The register is accessible as follows:

This table applies to all instructions that can access this register.

Traps and enables

For a description of the prioritization of any generated exceptions, see section G1.11.2 (Exception priority order) in the ARM® Architecture Reference Manual, ARMv8, for ARMv8-A architecture profile for exceptions taken to AArch32 state, and section D1.13.2 (Synchronous exception prioritization) for exceptions taken to AArch64 state. Subject to the prioritization rules, the following traps and enables are applicable when accessing this register.
