D9.69 TRCSYNCPR, Synchronization Period Register
The TRCSYNCPR controls how often periodic trace synchronization requests occur.
Bit field descriptions
The TRCSYNCPR is a 32-bit register.
31 045
PERIOD
RES0
Figure D9-66 TRCSYNCPR bit assignments
RES0, [31:5]
RES0 Reserved.
PERIOD, [4:0]
Defines the number of bytes of trace between synchronization requests as a total of the number
of bytes generated by both the instruction and data streams. The number of bytes is 2
N
where N
is the value of this field:
• A value of zero disables these periodic synchronization requests, but does not disable other
synchronization requests.
• The minimum value that can be programmed, other than zero, is 8, providing a minimum
synchronization period of 256 bytes.
• The maximum value is 20, providing a maximum synchronization period of 2
20
bytes.
Bit fields and details not provided in this description are architecturally defined. See the Arm
®
Architecture Reference Manual Armv8, for Armv8-A architecture profile.
The TRCSYNCPR can be accessed through the external debug interface, offset 0x034.
