1.1.1 EmbeddedICE-RT logic

The EmbeddedICE-RT logic provides integrated on-chip debug support for the ARM720T core.

It enables you to program the conditions under which a breakpoint or watchpoint can occur.

The EmbeddedICE-RT logic is an enhanced implementation of EmbeddedICE, and enables

you to perform debugging in monitor mode. In monitor mode, the core takes an exception on a

breakpoint or watchpoint, rather than entering debug state as it does in halt mode.

If the core does not enter debug state when it encounters a watchpoint or breakpoint, it can

continue to service hardware interrupt requests as normal. Debugging in monitor mode is

useful if the core forms part of the feedback loop of a mechanical system, where stopping the

core can potentially lead to system failure.

The EmbeddedICE-RT logic contains a

Debug Communications Channel

(DCC). The DCC is

used to pass information between the target and the host debugger. The EmbeddedICE-RT

logic is controlled through the

Joint Test Action Group

(JTAG) test access port.
