DBGCLAIMCLR_EL1, Debug Claim Tag Clear register

The DBGCLAIMCLR_EL1 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_EL1 register.

This register is part of the Debug registers functional group.

Usage constraints

This register is accessible as follows:

OffDLKOSLKSLKDefault
ErrorErrorErrorRORW

Configuration

External register DBGCLAIMCLR_EL1 is architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register DBGCLAIMCLR_EL1.

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

DBGCLAIMCLR_EL1 is in the Core power 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, and is not affected by an External debug reset.

An implementation must include 8 CLAIM tag bits.

Attributes

DBGCLAIMCLR_EL1 is a 32-bit register.

Field descriptions

The DBGCLAIMCLR_EL1 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_EL1

DBGCLAIMCLR_EL1 can be accessed through the external debug interface:
