9.25 Debug status register

The debug status register is 13 bits wide. If it is accessed for a write (with the read/write bit

set), the status bits are written. If it is accessed for a read (with the read/write bit clear), the

status bits are read. The format of the debug status register is shown in Figure 9-16.

Figure 9-16 Debug status register format

The function of each bit in this register is shown in Table 9-11.

Table9-11 Debug status register bit assignments

Bit Function
12 Enables the debugger to determine whether the
core has entered debug state due to the assertion
of DBGRQ.
4 Enables TBIT to be read. This enables the
debugger to determine what state the processor is
in, and which instructions to execute.
3 Enables the state of the HTRANS[1] signal from
the core to be read. This enables the debugger to
determine whether a memory access from the
debug state has completed.
2 Enables the state of the core interrupt enable
signal, IFEN, to be read.
1 Enables the values on the synchronized version of
DBGRQ to be read.
0 Enables the values on the synchronized versions of
DBGACK to be read.
