EDWAR, External Debug Watchpoint Address Register

Attributes

Field descriptions

ADDR, bits [63:0]

Watchpoint address. The data virtual address being accessed when a Watchpoint Debug Event was triggered and caused entry to Debug state. This address must be within a naturally-aligned block of memory of power-of-two size no larger than the DC ZVA block size.

The value of this register is UNKNOWN if the PE is in Non-debug state, or if Debug state was entered other than for a Watchpoint debug event.

The value of EDWAR[63:32] is UNKNOWN if Debug state was entered for a Watchpoint debug event taken from AArch32 state.

The EDWAR is subject to the same alignment rules as the reporting of a watchpointed address in the FAR. See 'Exception syndrome information and preferred return address'.

The reset behavior of this field is:

On a Cold reset, this field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.
