If the OCD receives a Serial Break (nine or more continuous bits Low) the Auto-Baud
Detector/Generator resets. Reconfigure the Auto-Baud Detector/Generator by sending
80H.
OCD Serial Errors
The On-Chip Debugger can detect any of the following error conditions on the DBG pin:
• Serial Break (a minimum of nine continuous bits Low)
• Framing Error (received Stop bit is Low)
• Transmit Collision (OCD and host simultaneous transmission detected by the OCD)
When the OCD detects one of these errors, it aborts any command currently in progress,
transmits a four character long Serial Break back to the host, and resets the Auto-Baud
Detector/Generator. A Framing Error or Transmit Collision may be caused by the host
sending a Serial Break to the OCD. Because of the open-drain nature of the interface,
returning a Serial Break break back to the host only extends the length of the Serial Break
if the host releases the Serial Break early.
The host transmits a Serial Break on the DBG pin when first connecting to the Z8 Encore!
XP^® F08xA Series devices or when recovering from an error. A Serial Break from the host
resets the Auto-Baud Generator/Detector but does not reset the OCD Control register. A
Serial Break leaves the device in DEBUG mode if that is the current mode. The OCD is
held in Reset until the end of the Serial Break when the DBG pin returns High. Because of
the open-drain nature of the DBG pin, the host can send a Serial Break to the OCD even if
the OCD is transmitting a character.
Breakpoints
Execution Breakpoints are generated using the BRK instruction (opcode 00H). When the
eZ8 CPU decodes a BRK instruction, it signals the On-Chip Debugger. If Breakpoints are
enabled, the OCD enters DEBUG mode and idles the eZ8 CPU. If Breakpoints are not
enabled, the OCD ignores the BRK signal and the BRK instruction operates as an NOP
instruction.
Breakpoints in Flash Memory
The BRK instruction is opcode 00H, which corresponds to the fully programmed state of a
byte in Flash memory. To implement a Breakpoint, write 00H to the required break
address, overwriting the current instruction. To remove a Breakpoint, the corresponding
page of Flash memory must be erased and reprogrammed with the original data.
