DBGBVR<n>_EL1, Debug Breakpoint Value Registers, n = 0 - 63

The DBGBVR<n>_EL1 characteristics are:

Purpose

Holds a virtual address, or a VMID and/or a context ID, for use in breakpoint matching. Forms breakpoint n together with control register DBGBCR<n>_EL1.

Configuration

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

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

AArch64 System register DBGBVR<n>_EL1 bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to External register DBGBVR<n>_EL1[63:0].

How this register is interpreted depends on the value of DBGBCR<n>_EL1.BT.

For other values of DBGBCR<n>_EL1.BT, this register is RES0.

If breakpoint n is not implemented then accesses to this register are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

DBGBVR<n>_EL1 is a 64-bit register.

Bits[48:2] of the address value for comparison.

When FEAT_LVA3 is implemented, (VA[56:53]:VA[52:49]) forms the upper part of the address value. If FEAT_LVA3 is not implemented, bits VA[56:53] are part of the RESS field.

When FEAT_LVA is implemented, VA[52:49] forms the upper part of the address value. If FEAT_LVA is not implemented, bits [52:49] are part of the RESS field.
