Bus Operation
7-94 MC68030 USER’S MANUAL MOTOROLA
The single-cycle mode allows the user to proceed through (and debug) external processor
operations, one bus cycle at a time. Figure 7-57 shows the timing requirements for a single-
cycle operation. Since the occurrence of a bus error while HALT
is asserted causes a retry
operation, the user must anticipate retry cycles while debugging in the single-cycle mode.
The single-step operation and the software trace capability allow the system debugger to
trace single bus cycles, single instructions, or changes in program flow. These processor
capabilities, along with a software debugging package, give complete debugging flexibility.
