The reason for duplicating these fields here is that the DBGDIDR Register is also accessible
through the APB slave port. This enables an external debugger to determine the variant and
revision numbers without stopping the processor.
To use the DBGDIDR Register, read CP14 c0 with:
MRC p14, 0, <Rd>, c0, c0, 0 ; Read DBGDIDR Register
12.4.3 CP14 c0, Debug ROM Address Register
The
DBGDRAR characteristics are:
Purpose Returns a 32-bit Debug ROM Address Register value. This is the address
that indicates where in memory a debug monitor can locate the debug bus
ROM specified by the CoreSight multiprocessor trace and debug
architecture. This ROM holds information about all the components in the
debug bus. You can configure the address read in this register during
integration using the DBGROMADDR[31:12] and DBGROMADDRV
inputs. DBGROMADDRV must be tied off to 1 if
DBGROMADDR[31:12] is tied off to a valid value.
Usage constraints The DBGDRAR Register is:
• in CP14 c0, sub-register c1
• a 32 bit read-only register
• accessible in User and Privileged modes.
Configurations Available in all processor configurations.
Attributes See Table 12-8.
Figure 12-3 shows the
DBGDRAR bit assignments.

To use the DBGDRAR Register, read CP14 c0 with:

Bits Name Function
[31:12] Debug bus
ROM address.
Indicates bits [31:12] of the debug bus ROM address.
[11: 2] - SBZ.
[1:0] Valid bits Indicates that the ROM address is valid.
Reads b11 if DBGROMADDRV is set to 1, otherwise reads b00. DBGROMADDRV must
be set to 1 if DBGROMADDR[31:12] is set to a valid value.
