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.
