DBGDIDR, Debug ID Register

The DBGDIDR characteristics are:

Purpose

Specifies which version of the Debug architecture is implemented, and some features of the debug implementation.

Configuration

This register is present only when AArch32 is supported. Otherwise, direct accesses to DBGDIDR are UNDEFINED.

If EL1 cannot use AArch32 then the implementation of this register is OPTIONAL and deprecated.

Attributes

DBGDIDR is a 32-bit register.

Field descriptions

313029282726252423222120191817161514131211109876543210
WRPsBRPsCTX_CMPsVersionRES1nSUHD_impRES0SE_impRES0

WRPs, bits [31:28]

Number of watchpoints, minus 1.

WRPsMeaning
0b0001..0b1111

The number of watchpoints, minus 1.

If FEAT_Debugv8p9 is implemented and 16 or more watchpoints are implemented, this field reads as 0b1111.

Note

If AArch32 is supported at EL1, then the PE does not implement more than 16 watchpoints.

The value 0b0000 is reserved.

BRPs, bits [27:24]

Number of breakpoints, minus 1.

BRPsMeaning
0b0001..0b1111

The number of breakpoints, minus 1.

If FEAT_Debugv8p9 is implemented and 16 or more breakpoints are implemented, this field reads as 0b1111.

Note

If AArch32 is supported at EL1, then the PE does not implement more than 16 breakpoints.

The value 0b0000 is reserved.

CTX_CMPs, bits [23:20]

Number of context-aware breakpoints, minus 1.

CTX_CMPsMeaning
0b0000..0b1111

The number of context-aware breakpoints, minus 1.

The value of this field is never greater than DBGDIDR.BRPs.

If FEAT_Debugv8p9 is implemented and 16 or more context-aware breakpoints are implemented, this field reads as 0b1111.

Note

If AArch32 is supported at EL1, then the PE does not implement more than 16 breakpoints.

Version, bits [19:16]

Debug architecture version. Indicates presence of Armv8 debug architecture. Defined values are:

VersionMeaning
0b0000

Not supported.

0b0001

Armv6, v6 Debug architecture, with System registers access.

0b0010

Armv6, v6.1 Debug architecture, with System registers access.

0b0011

Armv7, v7 Debug architecture, with only baseline System registers.

0b0100

Armv7, v7 Debug architecture, with all System registers implemented.

0b0101

Armv7, v7.1 Debug architecture, with System registers access.

0b0110

Armv8.0 debug architecture.

0b0111

Armv8.0 debug architecture with Virtualization Host Extensions.

0b1000

Armv8.2 debug architecture, FEAT_Debugv8p2.

0b1001

Armv8.4 debug architecture, FEAT_Debugv8p4.

0b1010

Armv8.8 debug architecture, FEAT_Debugv8p8.

0b1011

Armv8.9 debug architecture, FEAT_Debugv8p9.

All other values are reserved.

From Armv8.0, the values 0b0000, 0b0001, 0b0010, 0b0011, 0b0100, and 0b0101 are not permitted.

FEAT_VHE implements the functionality identified by the value 0b0111.

FEAT_Debugv8p2 implements the functionality identified by the value 0b1000.

FEAT_Debugv8p4 implements the functionality identified by the value 0b1001.

FEAT_Debugv8p8 implements the functionality identified by the value 0b1010.

FEAT_Debugv8p9 implements the functionality identified by the value 0b1011.

From Armv8.1, when FEAT_VHE is implemented the value 0b0110 is not permitted.

From Armv8.2, the values 0b0110 and 0b0111 are not permitted.

From Armv8.4, the value 0b1000 is not permitted.

From Armv8.8, the value 0b1001 is not permitted.

From Armv8.9, the value 0b1010 is not permitted.

Bit [15]

Reserved, RES1.

nSUHD_imp, bit [14]

Previously indicated that Secure User Halting Debug is not implemented.

The value of this bit must match the value of the SE_imp bit.

Bit [13]

Reserved, RES0.

SE_imp, bit [12]

EL3 implemented. The meanings of the values of this bit are:

SE_impMeaning
0b0

EL3 not implemented.

0b1

EL3 implemented.

The value of this bit must match the value of the nSUHD_imp bit.

Bits [11:0]

Reserved, RES0.

Accessing DBGDIDR

Arm deprecates any access to this register from EL0.

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

MRC{<c>}{<q>} <coproc>, {#}<opc1>, <Rt>, <CRn>, <CRm>{, {#}<opc2>}
