EmbeddedICE (I)
The EmbeddedICE module provides integrated on-chip debug
support for the ARM7TDMI. The EmbeddedICE module contains
the breakpoint and watchpoint registers, which allow nonintrusive
user code debugging. These registers are controlled through the
JTAG test port.
When a breakpoint or watchpoint is encountered, the processor
halts and enters debug state. Once in a debug state, the processor
registers may be interrogated, as well as the Flash/EE, the SRAM,
and the memory mapped registers.
ARM7 Exceptions
The ARM7 supports five types of exceptions, with a privileged
processing mode associated with each type. The five types of
exceptions follow:
Normal interrupt or IRQ. It is provided to service general-
purpose interrupt handling of internal and external events.
Fast interrupt or FIQ. It is provided to service data transfer or
a communication channel with low latency. FIQ has priority
over IRQ.
Memory abort (prefetch and data).
Attempted execution of an undefined instruction.
Software interrupt (SWI) instruction. It can be used to
make a call to an operating system.
Typically, the programmer defines interrupts as IRQ; but for
higher priority interrupts, the programmer can define interrupts
as being of the FIQ type.
The priority of the above exceptions and vector addresses are
Table 10. Exception Priority

1 A software interrupt and an undefined instruction exception have the same
priority and are mutually exclusive.
The exceptions in
Table 10 are located from Address 0x00 to
Address 0x1C, with a reserved location at 0x14. This location is
required to be written with either 0x27011970 or the checksum
of Page 0, excluding Location 0x14. If this is not done, user code
is not executed, and LIN download mode is entered.
ARM Registers
The ARM7TDMI has 16 standard registers. R0 to R12 are used
for data manipulation, R13 is the stack pointer, R14 is the link
register, and R15 is the program counter that indicates the
instruction currently being executed. The link register contains
the address from which the user has branched, if the branch and
link command was used, or the command during which an
exception occurred.
The stack pointer (R13) contains the current location of the stack.
Typically, on an ARM7TDMI, the stack starts at the top of the
available RAM area and descends, using the area as required.
A separate stack is defined for each exception. The size of each
stack is user configurable and is dependent on the target
application. On the ADuC7032-8L, the stack begins at
0x000417FC and descends.
When programming using a high level language such as C, it is
necessary to ensure that the stack does not overflow. This is
dependent on the performance of the compiler that is used.
When an exception occurs, some of the standard registers are
replaced with registers specific to the exception mode. All
exception modes have replacement banked registers for the
stack pointer (R13) and the link register (R14), as represented
in
Figure 9. The FIQ mode has more registers (R8 to R12),
supporting faster interrupt processing. With the increased
number of noncritical registers, the interrupt can be processed
without the need to save or restore these registers, reducing the
response time of the interrupt handling process.
More information relative to the programmer’s model and the
ARM7TDMI core architecture can be found in ARM7TDMI
technical and ARM architecture manuals available directly from
