Description
6–0
CNT[6:0]
Count Value — The CNT bits [6:0] indicate the number of valid data 64-bit data lines stored in the Trace Buffer.
Table 8-20 shows the correlation between the CNT bits and the number of valid data lines in the Trace Buffer.
When the CNT rolls over to zero, the TBF bit in DBGSR is set and incrementing of CNT will continue in end-
trigger or mid-trigger mode. The DBGCNT register is cleared when ARM in DBGC1 is written to a one. The
DBGCNT register is cleared by power-on-reset initialization but is not cleared by other system resets. Thus
should a reset occur during a debug session, the DBGCNT register still indicates after the reset, the number of
valid trace buffer entries stored before the reset occurred. The DBGCNT register is not decremented when
reading from the trace buffer.
