Breakpoint and Performance Monitor Signals:

I/O

 

BPM#[7:0]

Outputs from the processor that indicate the status of

 

breakpoints and programmable counters used for

CMOS

 

 

 

 

monitoring processor performance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Debug Reset: This signal is used only in systems where

 

 

DBR#

no debug port is implemented on the system board.

O

 

DBR# is used by a debug port interposer so that an in-

 

 

 

 

 

target probe can drive system reset.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Processor Ready: This signal is a processor output

O

 

PRDY#

used by debug tools to determine processor debug

 

Asynchronous CMOS

 

 

readiness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PREQ#

Processor Request: This signal is used by debug tools

I

 

to request debug operation of the processor.

Asynchronous CMOS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Test Clock: This signal provides the clock input for the

I

 

TCK

processor Test Bus (also known as the Test Access

 

Port). This signal must be driven low or allowed to float

GTL

 

 

 

 

during power on Reset.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Test Data In: This signal transfers serial test data into

I

 

TDI

the processor. This signal provides the serial input

 

GTL

 

 

needed for JTAG specification support.
