While the processor is running, if the DCC is used as a data channel, it might be appropriate to
poll the DCC regularly.
Example 11-6 shows the code for polling the DCC.

11.11.2 Programming breakpoints and watchpoints
This section describes the following operations:
•Programming simple breakpoints and the byte address select
•Setting a simple aligned watchpoint on page 11-58
•Setting a simple unaligned watchpoint on page 11-59.
Programming simple breakpoints and the byte address select
When programming a simple breakpoint, you must set the byte address select bits in the control
register appropriately. For a breakpoint in ARM state, this is simple. For Thumb state, you must
calculate the value based on the address.
