9-4 EPSON ARM720T CORE CPU MANUAL

9.2.1 Debug modes

You can perform debugging in either of the following modes:

Halt mode When the system is in halt mode, the core enters

debug state

when

it encounters a breakpoint or a watchpoint. In debug state, the core

is stopped and isolated from the rest of the system. When debug

has completed, the debug host restores the core and system state,

and program execution resumes.

For more information, see

Entry into debug state

on page 9-5.

Monitor mode When the system is in monitor mode, the core does not enter debug

state on a breakpoint or watchpoint. Instead, an Instruction Abort

or Data Abort is generated and the core continues to receive and

service interrupts as normal. You can use the abort status register

to establish whether the exception was due to a breakpoint or

watchpoint, or to a genuine memory abort.

For more information, see

Monitor mode debugging

on page 9-12.

9.2.2 Examining system state during debugging

In both halt mode and monitor mode, the JTAG-style serial interface enables you to examine

the internal state of the core and the external state of the system while system activity

continues.

In halt mode, this enables instructions to be inserted serially into the core pipeline without

using the external data bus. For example, when in debug state, a

Store Multiple

(STM) can be

inserted into the instruction pipeline to export the contents of the ARM720T processor

registers. This data can be serially shifted out without affecting the rest of the system. For

more information, see

Examining the core and the system in debug state

on page 9-26.

In monitor mode, the JTAG interface is used to transfer data between the debugger and a

simple monitor program running on the ARM720T core.

For detailed information about the scan chains and the JTAG interface, see

Scan chains and

the JTAG interface

on page 9-17.
