RM0453
A DWT comparator compares the value held in its DWT_COMPxR registers with one of the
following:
•
a data address
•
an instruction address
•
a data value
•
the cycle count value, for comparator 0 only.
For address matching, the comparator can use a mask, so it matches a range of addresses.
On a successful match, the comparator generates one of the following:
•
one or more DWT data trace packets, containing one or more of:
–
–
–
•
a watchpoint debug event, on either the PC value or the accessed data address
•
a CMPMATCH[N] event that signals the match outside the DWT unit
A watchpoint debug event either generates a DebugMonitor exception or causes the
processor to halt execution and enter Debug state.
For more details on how to use the DWT, refer to the Arm
Manual [5].
