EDPRSR, External Debug Processor Status Register
The EDPRSR characteristics are:
Purpose
Holds information about the reset and powerdown state of the PE.
Configuration
EDPRSR contains fields that are in the Core power domain and fields that are in the Debug power domain.
If FEAT_DoPD is implemented then all fields in this register are in the Core power domain.
Attributes
EDPRSR is a 32-bit register.

Accessing the EDPRSR
On permitted accesses to the register, other access controls affect the behavior of some fields. See the field descriptions for more information.
If the Core power domain is powered up (EDPRSR.PU == 1), then following a read of EDPRSR:
- If FEAT_DoubleLock is not implemented or DoubleLockStatus() == FALSE, then:
- EDPRSR.{SDR, SPMAD, SDAD, SPD} are cleared to 0.
- EDPRSR.SR is cleared to 0 if the non-debug logic of the PE is not in reset state (EDPRSR.R == 0).
- Otherwise it is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE whether or not this clearing occurs.
If FEAT_DoPD is not implemented and the Core power domain is powered down (EDPRSR.PU == 0), then:
- EDPRSR.{SDR, SPMAD, SDAD, SR} are all UNKNOWN, and are either reset or restored on being powered up.
- EDPRSR.SPD is not cleared following a read of EDPRSR. See the SPD bit description for more information.
The clearing of bits is an indirect write to EDPRSR.
EDPRSR can be accessed through the external debug interface:
| Component | Offset | Instance |
|---|---|---|
| Debug | 0x314 | EDPRSR |
This interface is accessible as follows:
- When FEAT_DoPD is not implemented or IsCorePowered() accesses to this register are RO.
- Otherwise accesses to this register generate an error response.
