TRCIDR1, ID Register 1

The TRCIDR1 characteristics are:

Purpose

Returns the tracing capabilities of the trace unit.

Configuration

External register TRCIDR1 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register TRCIDR1[31:0].

This register is present only when FEAT_ETE is implemented and FEAT_TRC_EXT is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to TRCIDR1 are RES0.

Attributes

TRCIDR1 is a 32-bit register.
