Note
A DBGTAP debugger can access the CP14 debug registers whether the processor is in Debug
state or not, so these debug events can be programmed while the processor is in ARM, Thumb,
or Jazelle state.
Setting software breakpoints (BKPT)
To set a software breakpoint, the DBGTAP debugger must perform the same steps as the debug
monitor target. Setting breakpoints, watchpoints, and vector catch debug events on page 13-45
describes this. The difference is that CP14 debug registers are accessed using the DBGTAP scan
chains. See Chapter 14 Debug Test Access Port.
Reading and writing to memory
See Debug sequences on page 14-29 for memory access sequences using the processor Debug
Test Access Port.
