Table A-35 Miscellaneous Debug signals
Signal Direction Description
DBGROMADDR[39:12] Input Debug ROM base address.
Specifies bits[39:12] of the ROM table physical address.
If the address cannot be determined, tie this signal LOW.
This pin is sampled only during reset of the processor.
DBGROMADDRV Input Debug ROM base address valid.
If the debug ROM address cannot be determined, tie this signal LOW.
This pin is sampled only during reset of the processor.
DBGACK[CN:0] Output Debug acknowledge:
0
External debug request not acknowledged.
1
External debug request acknowledged.
nCOMMIRQ[CN:0] Output Communications channel receive or transmit interrupt request
0
Request interrupt.
1
No interrupt request.
COMMRX[CN:0] Output Communications channel receive. Receive portion of Data Transfer Register full flag:
0
Empty.
1
Full.
COMMTX[CN:0] Output Communication transmit channel. Transmit portion of Data Transfer Register empty
flag:
0
Full.
1
Empty.
EDBGRQ[CN:0] Input External debug request:
0
No external debug request.
1
External debug request.
The processor treats the EDBGRQ input as level-sensitive. The EDBGRQ input must
be asserted until the processor asserts DBGACK.
DBGEN[CN:0] Input Invasive debug enable:
0
Not enabled.
1
Enabled.
NIDEN[CN:0] Input Non-invasive debug enable:
0
Not enabled.
1
Enabled.
SPIDEN[CN:0] Input Secure privileged invasive debug enable:
0
Not enabled.
1
Enabled.
SPNIDEN[CN:0] Input Secure privileged non-invasive debug enable:
0
Not enabled.
1
Enabled.
DBGRSTREQ[CN:0] Output Warm reset request.
DBGNOPWRDWN[CN:0] Output No powerdown request:
0
On a powerdown request, the SoC power controller powers down the
processor.
1
On a powerdown request, the SoC power controller does not power
down the processor.
