DBGWVR<n>_EL1, Debug Watchpoint Value Registers, n = 0 - 63

The DBGWVR<n>_EL1 characteristics are:

Purpose

Holds a data address value for use in watchpoint matching. Forms watchpoint n together with control register DBGWCR<n>_EL1.

Configuration

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

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

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

Attributes

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

RESS[14:8], bits [63:57]

Reserved, Sign extended. Software must set all bits in this field to the same value as the most significant bit of the VA field. If all bits in this field are not the same value as the most significant bit of the VA field, then all of the following apply:

Bits[56:53]
When FEAT_LVA3 is implemented:

VA[56:53], bits [3:0] of bits [56:53]

Extension to VA[48:2]. For more information, see VA[48:2].

The reset behavior of this field is:


Otherwise:

RESS[7:4], bits [3:0] of bits [56:53]

Extension to RESS[14:8]. For more information, see RESS[14:8].

Bits[52:49]
When FEAT_LVA is implemented:

VA[52:49], bits [3:0] of bits [52:49]

Extension to VA[48:2]. For more information, see VA[48:2].

The reset behavior of this field is:


Otherwise:

RESS[3:0], bits [3:0] of bits [52:49]

Extension to RESS[14:8]. For more information, see RESS[14:8].

VA[48:2], bits [48:2]

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.

Arm deprecates setting DBGWVR<n>_EL1[2] == 1.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Bits [1:0]

Reserved, RES0.

Accessing DBGWVR<n>_EL1

When FEAT_Debugv8p9 is implemented, a PE is permitted to support up to 64 implemented watchpoints.

Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:
