DBGBXVR<n>, Debug Breakpoint Extended Value Registers, n = 0 - 15

The DBGBXVR<n> characteristics are:

Purpose

Holds a value for use in breakpoint matching, to support VMID matching. Used in conjunction with a control register DBGBCR<n> and a value register DBGBVR<n>, where EL2 is implemented and breakpoint n supports Context matching.

Configuration

AArch32 System register DBGBXVR<n> bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register DBGBVR<n>_EL1[63:32] .

AArch32 System register DBGBXVR<n> bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to External register DBGBVR<n>_EL1[63:32] .

This register is unallocated in any of the following cases:

  • Breakpoint n is not implemented.
  • Breakpoint n does not support Context matching.
  • EL2 is not implemented.

For more information, see the description of the DBGDIDR.CTX_CMPs field.

This register is in the Cold reset domain. On a Cold reset RW fields in this register reset to architecturally UNKNOWN values. The register is not affected by a Warm reset.

Attributes

How this register is interpreted depends on the value of DBGBCR<n>.BT.

  • When DBGBCR<n>.BT is 0b10xx, this register holds a VMID.
  • When DBGBCR<n>.BT is 0b11xx, this register holds a Context ID.

For other values of DBGBCR<n>.BT, this register is RES0.

Field descriptions

The DBGBXVR<n> bit assignments are:

When DBGBCR<n>.BT == 0b10xx and HaveEL(EL2):
313029282726252423222120191817161514131211109876543210
RES0VMID[15:8]VMID[7:0]

Bits [31:16]

Reserved, RES0.

VMID[15:8], bits [15:8]

When ARMv8.1-VMID16 is implemented:

Extension to VMID[7:0]. See VMID[7:0] for more details.

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


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

VMID[7:0], bits [7:0]

VMID value for comparison.

The VMID is 8 bits in the following cases.

  • EL2 is using AArch32.
  • ARMv8.1-VMID16 is not implemented.

When ARMv8.1-VMID16 is implemented and EL2 is using AArch64, it is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether the VMID is 8 bits or 16 bits.

VMID[15:8] is RES0 if any of the following applies:

  • The implementation has an 8-bit VMID.
  • VTCR_EL2.VS has a value of 0.
  • EL2 is using AArch32.

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

When DBGBCR<n>.BT == 0b11xx and HaveEL(EL2):
313029282726252423222120191817161514131211109876543210
ContextID2

ContextID2, bits [31:0]

When ARMv8.1-VHE is implemented:

Context ID value for comparison against CONTEXTIDR_EL2.

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


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

Accessing the DBGBXVR<n>
