Section 7 User Break Controller (UBC)
7.3.2 Break on On-Chip Memory Instruction Fetch Cycle
On-chip memory (on-chip ROM and/or RAM) is always accessed as 32 bits in 1 bus cycle.
Therefore, 2 instructions can be retrieved in 1 bus cycle when fetching instructions from on-chip
memory. At such times, only 1 bus cycle is generated, but by setting the start addresses of both
instructions in the user break address register (UBAR) it is possible to cause independent breaks.
In other words, when wanting to effect a break using the latter of two addresses retrieved in 1 bus
cycle, set the start address of that instruction in UBAR. The break will occur after execution of the
former instruction.
7.3.3 Program Counter (PC) Values Saved
Break on Instruction Fetch (Before Execution): The program counter (PC) value saved to the
stack in user break interrupt exception processing is the address that matches the break condition.
The user break interrupt is generated before the fetched instruction is executed. If a break
condition is set in an instruction fetch cycle placed immediately after a delayed branch instruction
(delay slot), or on an instruction that follows an interrupt-disabled instruction, however, the user
break interrupt is not accepted immediately, but the break condition establishing instruction is
executed. The user break interrupt is accepted after execution of the instruction that has accepted
the interrupt. In this case, the PC value saved is the start address of the instruction that will be
executed after the instruction that has accepted the interrupt.
Break on Data Access (CPU/Peripheral): The program counter (PC) value is the top address of
the next instruction after the last instruction executed before the user break exception processing
started. When data access (CPU/peripheral) is set as a break condition, the place where the break
will occur cannot be specified exactly. The break will occur at the instruction fetched close to
where the data access that is to receive the break occurs.
