EDDEVID, External Debug Device ID register 0

The EDDEVID characteristics are:

Purpose

Provides extra information for external debuggers about features of the debug implementation.

Configuration

When FEAT_DoPD is implemented, EDDEVID is in the Core power domain. Otherwise, EDDEVID is in the Debug power domain.

Attributes

EDDEVID is a 32-bit register.

RES0AuxRegsRES0DebugPowerPCSample

Bits [31:28]

Reserved, RES0.

AuxRegs, bits [27:24]

Indicates support for Auxiliary registers.

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

AuxRegsMeaning
0b0000

None supported.

0b0001

Support for External Debug Auxiliary Control Register, EDACR.

All other values are reserved.

Access to this field is RO.

Bits [23:8]

Reserved, RES0.

DebugPower, bits [7:4]

Indicates support for the FEAT_DoPD feature.

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

DebugPowerMeaning
0b0000

FEAT_DoPD not implemented. Registers in the external debug interface register map are implemented in a mix of the Debug and Core power domains.

0b0001

FEAT_DoPD implemented. All registers in the external debug interface register map are implemented in the Core power domain.

FEAT_DoPD implements the functionality added by the value 0b0001.

All other values are reserved.

Access to this field is RO.

PCSample, bits [3:0]

Indicates the level of PC Sample-based Profiling support using external debug registers.

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

PCSampleMeaning
0b0000

PC Sample-based Profiling Extension is not implemented in the external debug registers space.

0b0010

Only EDPCSR and EDCIDSR are implemented. This option is only permitted if EL3 and EL2 are not implemented.

0b0011

EDPCSR, EDCIDSR, and EDVIDSR are implemented.

All other values are reserved.

When FEAT_PCSRv8p2 is implemented, the only permitted value is 0b0000.

Note

FEAT_PCSRv8p2 implements the PC Sample-based Profiling Extension in the Performance Monitors register space, as indicated by the value of PMDEVID.PCSample.

Access to this field is RO.

Accessing EDDEVID

EDDEVID can be accessed through the external debug interface:
