SBO

See Should Be One.

SBZ

See Should Be Zero.

SBZP

See Should Be Zero or Preserved.

Scan chain

A scan chain is made up of serially-connected devices that implement boundary scan

 

technology using a standard JTAG TAP interface. Each device contains at least one TAP

 

controller containing shift registers that form the chain connected between TDI and

 

TDO, through which test data is shifted. Processors can contain several shift registers

 

to enable you to access selected parts of the device.

Should Be One (SBO)

 

 

Should be written as 1 (or all 1s for bit fields) by software. Writing a 0 produces

 

Unpredictable results.

Should Be Zero (SBZ)

 

 

Should be written as 0 (or all 0s for bit fields) by software. Writing a 1 produces

 

Unpredictable results.

Should Be Zero or Preserved (SBZP)

Should be written as 0 (or all 0s for bit fields) by software, or preserved by writing the same value back that has been previously read from the same field on the same processor.

Unaligned

A data item stored at an address that is not divisible by the number of bytes that defines

 

the data size is said to be unaligned. For example, a word stored at an address that is not

 

divisible by four.

Undefined

Indicates an instruction that generates an Undefined instruction trap. See the ARM

 

Architecture Reference Manual for more information on ARM exceptions.

UNP

See Unpredictable.

Unpredictable

Means that the behavior of the ETM cannot be relied on. Such conditions have not been

 

validated. When applied to the programming of an event resource, only the output of

 

that event resource is Unpredictable.

 

Unpredictable behavior can affect the behavior of the entire system, because the ETM

 

is capable of causing the core to enter debug state, and external outputs can be used for

 

other purposes.

Unpredictable

For reads, the data returned when reading from this location is unpredictable. It can have

 

any value. For writes, writing to this location causes unpredictable behavior, or an

 

unpredictable change in device configuration. Unpredictable instructions must not halt

 

or hang the processor, or any part of the system.
