TRCDEVARCH

TRCDEVARCH, Trace Device Architecture Register

The TRCDEVARCH characteristics are:

Purpose

Provides discovery information for the component.

For additional information, see the CoreSight Architecture Specification.

Configuration

AArch64 System register TRCDEVARCH bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to External register TRCDEVARCH[31:0].

This register is present only when FEAT_ETE is implemented and System register access to the trace unit registers is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to TRCDEVARCH are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

TRCDEVARCH is a 64-bit register.

ARCHITECTPRESENTREVISIONARCHVERARCHPART

Bits [63:32]

Reserved, RES0.

ARCHITECT, bits [31:21]

Defines the architect of the component. For Trace, this is Arm Limited.

Bits [31:28] are the JEP106 continuation code, 0b0100.

Bits [27:21] are the JEP106 identification code, 0b0111011.

Reads as 0b01000111011.

Access to this field is RO.

PRESENT, bit [20]

DEVARCH present. Indicates that the TRCDEVARCH register is present.

Reads as 0b1.

Access to this field is RO.

REVISION, bits [19:16]

Revision. Defines the architecture revision of the component.

The value of this field is an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED choice of:

REVISIONMeaning
0b0000

ETEv1.0, FEAT_ETE.

0b0001

ETEv1.1, FEAT_ETEv1p1.

0b0010

ETEv1.2, FEAT_ETEv1p2.

0b0011

ETEv1.3, FEAT_ETEv1p3.

All other values are reserved.

Access to this field is RO.

ARCHVER, bits [15:12]

Architecture Version. Defines the architecture version of the component.

ARCHVERMeaning
0b0101

ETEv1.

ARCHVER and ARCHPART are also defined as a single field, ARCHID, so that ARCHVER is ARCHID[15:12].

This field reads as 0x5.

Access to this field is RO.

ARCHPART, bits [11:0]

Architecture Part. Defines the architecture of the component.

ARCHPARTMeaning
0xA13

Arm PE trace architecture.

ARCHVER and ARCHPART are also defined as a single field, ARCHID, so that ARCHPART is ARCHID[11:0].

This field reads as 0xA13.

Access to this field is RO.
