1-4 EPSON ARM720T CORE CPU MANUAL
Changes to the programmer’s model
To provide support for the EmbeddedICE-RT macrocell, the following changes have been made
to the programmer’s model for the ARM720T processor:
Debug Control Register
There are two new bits in the Debug Control Register:
Bit 4 Monitor mode enable. Use this to control how the device reacts on
a breakpoint or watchpoint:
When set, the core takes the instruction or data abort
exception.
When clear, the core enters debug state.
Bit 5 EmbeddedICE-RT disable. Use this when changing watchpoints
and breakpoints:
When set, this bit disables breakpoints and watchpoints,
enabling the breakpoint or watchpoint registers to be
programmed with new values.
When clear, the new breakpoint or watchpoint values become
operational.
For more information, see
Debug control register
on page 9-39.
Coprocessor register map
A new register, r2, in the coprocessor CP14 register map indicates if the processor
entered the Prefetch or Data Abort exception because of a real abort, or because of a
breakpoint or watchpoint. For more details, see
Abort status register
on page 9-38.
