About system debug
11-2
The processor contains several system debug components that facilitate:
•
low-cost debug
•
trace and profiling
•
breakpoints
•
watchpoints
•
code patching.
The system debug components are:
•
Flash Patch and Breakpoint (FPB) unit to implement breakpoints and code
patches.
•
Data Watchpoint and Trigger (DWT) unit to implement watchpoints, trigger
resources, and system profiling.
•
Instrumentation Trace Macrocell (ITM) for application-driven trace source that
supports printf style debugging.
•
Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM) for instruction trace. The processor is
supported in versions with and without the ETM.
All the debug components exist on the internal Private Peripheral Bus (PPB) and can
be accessed using privileged code.
Note
