13.8 Transmit/Receive Control Register (TXRXCTRL)
Communications between the debug handler and debugger are controlled through handshaking bits
that ensures the debugger and debug handler make synchronized accesses to TX and RX. The
debugger side of the handshaking is accessed through the DBGTX (Section 13.11.4, DBGTX
JTAG Register) and DBGRX (Section 13.11.6, DBGRX JTAG Register) JTAG Data Registers,
depending on the direction of the data transfer.The debug handler uses separate handshaking bits in
TXRXCTRL register for accessing TX and RX.
The TXRXCTRL register also contains two other bits that support high-speed download. One bit
indicates an overflow condition that occurs when the debugger attempts to write the RX register
before the debug handler has read the previous data written to RX. The other bit is used by the
debug handler as a branch flag during high-speed download.
All of the bits in the TXRXCTRL register are placed such that they can be read directly into the CC
flags in the CPSR with an MRC (with Rd = PC). The subsequent instruction can then conditionally
execute based on the updated CC value
