Debug status register
The debug status register is 13 bits wide. If it is accessed for a write (with the read/write bit
set), the status bits are written. If it is accessed for a read (with the read/write bit clear), the
status bits are read. The format of the debug status register is shown in Figure 9-16.

Function
Enables the debugger to determine whether the
core has entered debug state due to the assertion
of DBGRQ.
Enables TBIT to be read. This enables the
debugger to determine what state the processor is
in, and which instructions to execute.
Enables the state of the HTRANS[1] signal from
the core to be read. This enables the debugger to
determine whether a memory access from the
debug state has completed.
Enables the state of the core interrupt enable
signal, IFEN, to be read.
Enables the values on the synchronized version of
DBGRQ to be read.
Enables the values on the synchronized versions of
DBGACK to be read.
