Section 7 User Break Controller (UBC)
7.5 Usage Notes
1. The CPU can read from or write to the UBC registers via the internal CPU bus. Accordingly,
during the period from executing an instruction to rewrite the UBC register till the new value
is actually rewritten, the desired break may not occur. In order to know the timing when the
UBC register is changed, read from the last written register. Instructions after then are valid for
the newly written register value.
2. The UBC cannot monitor the C bus, internal CPU, and internal DMA bus cycles in the same
channel.
3. When a user break interrupt request and another exception source occur at the same
instruction, which has higher priority is determined according to the priority levels defined in
table 5.1 in section 5, Exception Handling. If an exception source with higher priority occurs,
the user break interrupt request is not received.
4. Note the following when a break occurs in a delay slot.
If a pre-execution break is set at a delay slot instruction, the user break interrupt request is not
received immediately before execution of the branch destination.
5. User breaks are disabled during UBC module standby mode. Do not read from or write to the
UBC registers during UBC module standby mode; the values are not guaranteed.
6. Do not set an address within an interrupt exception handling routine whose interrupt priority
level is at least 15 (including user break interrupts) as a break address.
7. Do not set break after instruction execution for the SLEEP instruction or for the delayed
branch instruction where the SLEEP instruction is placed at its delay slot.
8. When setting a break for a 32-bit instruction, set the address where the upper 16 bits are
placed. If the address of the lower 16 bits is set and a break before instruction execution is set
as a break condition, the break is handled as a break after instruction execution.
9. Do not set a user break before instruction execution for the instruction following the DIVU or
DIVS instruction. If a user break before instruction execution is set for the instruction
following the DIVU or DIVS instruction and an exception or interrupt occurs during execution
of the DIVU or DIVS instruction, a user break occurs before instruction execution even though
execution of the DIVU or DIVS instruction is halted.
