finish the interrupt service routine it may be in and return the BRK instruction. When the
CPU returns to the BRK instruction it was previously looping on, it automatically sets the
DBGMODE bit and enter DEBUG mode.
Software detects that the majority of the OCD commands are still disabled when the eZ8
CPU is looping on a BRK instruction. The eZ8 CPU must be stopped and the part must be
in DEBUG mode before these commands can be issued.
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 desired address, over-
writing the current instruction. To remove a Breakpoint, the corresponding page of Flash
memory must be erased and reprogrammed with the original data.
On-Chip Debugger Commands
The host communicates to the On-Chip Debugger by sending OCD commands using the
DBG interface. During normal operation, only a subset of the OCD commands are avail-
able. In DEBUG mode, all OCD commands become available unless the user code and
control registers are protected by programming the Read Protect Option Bit (RP). The
Read Protect Option Bit prevents the code in memory from being read out of the 64K
Series products. When this option is enabled, several of the OCD commands are disabled.
mand is described in further detail in the bulleted list following Table 100. Table 100 indi-
cates those commands that operate when the device is not in DEBUG mode (normal
operation) and those commands that are disabled by programming the Read Protect
Option Bit.
