SDER32_EL2

SDER32_EL2, AArch32 Secure Debug Enable Register

The SDER32_EL2 characteristics are:

Purpose

Allows access to the AArch32 register SDER from Secure EL2 and EL3 only.

Configuration

AArch64 System register SDER32_EL2 bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register SDER32_EL3[63:0] when EL3 is implemented.

AArch64 System register SDER32_EL2 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register SDER[31:0].

This register is present only when EL2 is implemented, FEAT_SEL2 is implemented, FEAT_AA32EL1 is implemented, and FEAT_AA64 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to SDER32_EL2 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

SDER32_EL2 is a 64-bit register.

Bits [63:2]

Reserved, RES0.

SUNIDEN, bit [1]

Secure User Non-Invasive Debug Enable.

SUNIDENMeaning
0b0

This bit has no effect on non-invasive debug.

0b1

Non-invasive debug is allowed in Secure EL0 using AArch32.

When Secure EL1 is using AArch32, the forms of non-invasive debug affected by this control are:

When Secure EL1 is using AArch64, this bit has no effect.

The reset behavior of this field is:

SUIDEN, bit [0]
When EL3 is implemented:

Secure User Invasive Debug Enable.

SUIDENMeaning
0b0

This bit does not affect the generation of debug exceptions at Secure EL0.

0b1

If EL1 is using AArch32, debug exceptions from Secure EL0 are enabled.

The reset behavior of this field is:


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.
