ID_AA64DFR2_EL1, Debug Feature Register 2

The ID_AA64DFR2_EL1 characteristics are:

Purpose

Provides top level information about the debug system in AArch64.

For general information about the interpretation of the ID registers, see 'Principles of the ID scheme for fields in ID registers'.

Configuration

Note

Prior to the introduction of the features described by this register, this register was unnamed and reserved, RES0 from EL1, EL2, and EL3.

Attributes

ID_AA64DFR2_EL1 is a 64-bit register.

RES0
RES0BWESTEP

Bits [63:8]

Reserved, RES0.

BWE, bits [7:4]

Breakpoints and watchpoint enhancements.

The value of this field is an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED choice of:

BWEMeaning
0b0000

This field does not indicate whether DBGBCR<n>_EL1.MASK and address mismatch breakpoints are implemented.

0b0001

DBGBCR<n>_EL1.MASK and address mismatch breakpoints are implemented.

0b0010

As 0b0001, and address mismatch watchpoints are implemented.

All other values are reserved.

FEAT_BWE implements the functionality identified by the value 0b0001.

FEAT_BWE2 implements the functionality identified by the value 0b0010.

From Armv9.5, the permitted values are 0b0000 and 0b0010.

When this field is 0b0000, ID_AA64DFR1_EL1.ABLE might indicate the presence of support for DBGBCR<n>_EL1.MASK and address mismatch breakpoints.

Access to this field is RO.

STEP, bits [3:0]

Enhanced Software Step Extension.

The value of this field is an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED choice of:

STEPMeaning
0b0000

Execution from MDSTEPOP_EL1 is not supported for Software Step.

0b0001

Execution from MDSTEPOP_EL1 is supported for Software Step.

All other values are reserved.

FEAT_STEP2 implements the functionality identified by the value 0b0001.

Access to this field is RO.
