AU SSSTATUS 9 9 9 ViewInst start/stop function status. Before software enables the trace unit, it must write to this field to set the initial state of the ViewInst start/stop function. If the ViewInst start/stop function is not used then set this field to 1. Arm recommends that the value of this field is set before each trace session begins. If the trace unit becomes disabled while a start point or stop point is still speculative, then the value of TRCVICTLR.SSSTATUS is UNKNOWN and might represent the result of a speculative start point or stop point. If software which is running on the PE being traced disables the trace unit, either by clearing TRCPRGCTLR.EN or locking the OS Lock, Arm recommends that a DSB and an ISB instruction are executed before disabling the trace unit to prevent any start points or stop points being speculative at the point of disabling the trace unit. This procedure assumes that all start points or stop points occur before the barrier instructions are executed. The procedure does not guarantee that there are no speculative start points or stop points when disabling, although it helps minimize the probability. 0b0 Stopped State. The ViewInst start/stop function is in the stopped state. 0b1 Started State. The ViewInst start/stop function is in the started state.

TRCVICTLR.EVENT.SEL[4:0] selects the single Resource Selector, from 0-31, used to activate the resource event. 0b1 A Boolean-combined pair of Resource Selectors. TRCVICTLR.EVENT.SEL[3:0] selects the Resource Selector pair, from 0-15, that has a Boolean function that is applied to it whose output is used to activate the resource event.

EVENT_SEL 4 0 4:0 Defines the selected Resource Selector or pair of Resource Selectors. TRCVICTLR.EVENT.TYPE controls whether TRCVICTLR.EVENT.SEL is the index of a single Resource Selector, or the index of a pair of Resource Selectors. If an unimplemented Resource Selector is selected using this field, the behavior of the resource event is UNPREDICTABLE, and the resource event might fire or might not fire when the resources are not in the Paused state. If an unimplemented Resource Selector is selected using this field, the value returned on a direct read of this field is UNKNOWN. Selecting Resource Selector pair 0 using this field is UNPREDICTABLE, and the resource event might fire or might not fire when the resources are not in the Paused state. AU When TRCIDR4.NUMRSPAIR != '0000' Reserved 4 0 4:0 This field is reserved: Bits [4:1] are RES0. Bit [0] is RES1. When TRCIDR4.NUMRSPAIR == '0000' 4 0 4:0 Reserved, RES0. Otherwise Must be programmed. Reads from this register might return an UNKNOWN value if the trace unit is not in either of the Idle or Stable states. 2026-03-26 20:27:25 2026-03_rel
