Debug access sequences define the activities of development tools to connect to a device using the debug channel for debugging, tracing, or flash programming. Several debug access sequences are pre-defined and executed in specific context. Refer to sequences for details.
Software development tools should implement Default debug access sequences. These default sequences can be overwritten by device specific sequences using the sequence element in the sequences section of the PDSC file. Additionally, a PDSC file can contain user-defined sequences, for example to reuse access sequence fragments:
- Usage of debug access sequences explains how the sequences are used from a development tool point of view.
- Default debug access sequences lists all debug access sequences that are pre-defined by the CMSIS-Pack standard and shows the details of the default debug access sequences.
- Writing debug access sequences explains how to write custom debug access sequences. These can be used to either override default sequences or to define device specific sequences.
Usage of debug access sequences
Pre-defined Debug Access Sequences are used in the following context:
- Connect Debugger to Device is executed when debugging or flash programming with the target starts.
- Reset Device is executed to reset the target.
- Verify Code is executed to verify the content after flash programming.
- Disconnect Debugger is executed when debugging or flash programming with the target stops.
The following diagrams show how the Debug Access Sequences are executed by a development tool.
Connect Debugger to Device is executed when debugging or flash programming with the target starts.
Reset Device is executed to reset the target.
Verify Code is executed to verify the content after flash programming.
Disconnect Debugger is executed when debugging or flash programming with the target stops.
Default debug access sequences
Debug access sequences get defined in the sequence element. The following table lists the available pre-defined debug access sequences. Default debug access sequences are executed if they are not overwritten using a sequence element. Refer to Usage of debug access sequences for more information about the execution of these sequences.
For debug access sequences marked in ItalicRed, no default sequence exists. The usage in a debug description requires a related sequence element to be present. The other sequences should be implemented in a development tool. They are executed when no sequence definition exists in the PDSC file.
- Note
- Default debug access sequences read the System Control Space (SCS) of the processor and assume that the SCS offset is implemented as defined in the ARMv6-M/ARMv7-M/ARMv8-M architecture reference manual.
| name= | Description |
| DebugPortSetup | Prepare the target debug port for connection; is executed before acquiring access to the debug port.
May include for example an SWJ-DP switch sequence as defined in the ARM Debug Interface (ADI) Architecture Specification.
This sequence must not contain debug port/access port register and target memory accesses other than:
- Reading the DPIDR debug port register to release an SWD connection from its line reset.
- Writing the TARGETSEL debug port register (SWD protocol v2).
|
| DebugPortStart | Connect to the target debug port and power it up; is executed after DebugPortSetup.
The parent debugport is default debug port for this sequence.
This sequence must not contain access port register and target memory accesses. |
| DebugPortStop | Power down and disconnect from target debug port.
Executed as last step during target disconnect unless another debugger connection to this port is active. The parent debugport is default debug port for this sequence.
This sequence must not contain access port register and target memory accesses. |
| DebugDeviceUnlock | Check if the device is in a locked state and unlock it. Use query command elements for user confirmation.
Executed after having powered up the debug port. |
| DebugCoreStart | Initialize core debug system.
Executed after having connected and powered up the default debug port for the connection. |
| DebugCoreStop | Uninitialize core debug system.
Executed as last step during disconnect before powering down any debug ports no longer required for concurrent connections. |
| DebugCodeMemRemap | Remap memory to execution location.
Executed before verifying memory content after flash programming. This is required to replicate a memory remap of a device bootloader (that is not executed during debug connection). |
| ResetSystem | Execute a system-wide reset via software mechanisms. |
| ResetProcessor | Execute a processor reset via software mechanisms. |
| ResetHardware | Execute a system-wide reset via the dedicated debugger reset line, e.g. nRST. |
| ResetHardwareAssert | Assert a system-wide reset via the dedicated debugger reset line, e.g. nRST. |
| ResetHardwareDeassert | Deassert a system-wide reset via the dedicated debugger reset line, e.g. nRST. |
| ResetCatchSet | Executed before a target reset to configure the vector catch to stop code execution after the reset.
The implementation of ResetCatchSet requires an implementation of ResetCatchClear to free any hardware resources used for stopping the core. |
| ResetCatchClear | Executed after a target reset to free hardware resources allocated by ResetCatchSet. |
| FlashEraseDone | Executed after erasing flash memory. |
| FlashProgramDone | Eexecuted after programming flash memory. |
| TraceStart | Enable target trace capture.
Executed before the debugger powers up and configures standard CoreSight trace components, e.g. after the initial target connection as well as after a system-wide reset. |
| TraceStop | Disable target trace capture.
Executed after the debugger disabled and powered down standard CoreSight trace components. |
| RecoverySupportStart | Executed before step or run command to support recovery from a lost target connection, e.g. after a low power mode. |
| RecoverySupportStop | Executed after step or run command in context of the RecoverySupportStart sequence. |
| RecoveryAcknowledge | Debugger acknowledge after recovering from a lost target connection. Can be executed independently from a RecoverySupportStart sequence. |

Writing debug access sequences
To override a default sequence or to create a custom (default) sequence, you need to write sequence elements. The following sections show how to use the built-in debug access syntax, expressions, and debug access functions to create custom sequences.
Debug access syntax rules
Debug accesses are described in block elements of a debug access sequence (sequence element). The following syntax is used for this purpose:
- The contents of a block element is a series of statements.
- Each statement must begin in a new line and is terminated by a ; character.
- A typical statement consists of variable, followed by a = character and an expression, where the = character is an assignment of the expression result to the variable:
- Alternatively, a statement can be a sole expression without storing its result to a variable.
- Comments begin with two slashes (//) and end with a linebreak:
- Variables must be defined using the keyword __var. The definition must include an initalization of the variable:
- Variables can be defined only once within a scope. Scopes beging with entering a debug access sequence or a control element. They are extended to child control elements. Variables of a parent scope can be modified. Leaving a scope destroys all variables defined in it.
block elements do not begin a new scope. <sequence name="MySequence">
<block info="Block 1">
__var condvar = 1;
__var myvar1 = 5;
__var myvar2 = 0;
</block>
<control if="condvar">
<block>
__var myvar3 = 2;
myvar2 = myvar1 + myvar3;
</block>
</control>
<block info="Block 2">
myvar1 = myvar2 + 1;
</block>
</sequence>
- The debug access variables __dp, __ap, and __errorcontrol can be modified within a debug access sequence. An assigned value is held until leaving the sequence. Calling another sequence by the Sequence debug access function will push their values on a sequence execution stack. The values are restored when returning from such a call.
Expression rules
Expressions are used in various places to describe one of the following:
- A value as assigned in a debug access statement.
- A condition to use in the if attribute of a control element.
- A condition to use in the while attribute of a control element.
- A parameter to a debug access function as described below.
An expression may consist of the following:
- Constant numbers in decimal and hexadecimal representation (prefix 0x).
- Arithmetic operators such as +, -, *, /, and %.
- Bit-arithmetic operators such as &, |, ~, ^, >>, and <<.
- Comparison-operators such as ==, !=, <, >, <=, and >=.
- Logic operators such as !, &&, ||, and ==.
- Conditional expression operations like:
- Precedence of sub-expressions is indicated by brackets ((, )). C-like precedence applies if brackets are omitted.
- References to debug access variables for evaluating debug settings.
- Calls to debug access functions.
- Note
- All values used in expressions resolve to 64-bit unsigned integer values.
- All logic-operations and comparisons resolve to the value 1 if true, to 0 otherwise.
- XML prohibits the use of the characters &, <, and >. Use the corresponding XML entity names instead: &, <, and >.
Debug access functions
Debug access functions can be called in expressions in order to interact with the target device and the user. Parameters to functions can again be expressions.
By default, a debugger must abort the execution of a debug access sequence if a function call fails. However, this behavior can be controlled from a sequence by the __errorcontrol debug access variable.
The following table describes the existing debug access functions, their parameters and the debug access variables which are evaluated for the function call.
| Function | Description |
Sequence("name") | Execute a debug access sequence. Calling a sequence by this function causes the modifiable debug access variables __dp, __ap, and __errorcontrol to be pushed on a sequence execution stack. Returning from such a call will restore the state of these variables.

The pinwait time is useful in systems where the nRESET pin is implemented as open-drain output. After nRESET is de-asserted by the debugger, external circuit may still hold the target Device under reset for a time. Using the pinwait time, the debugger may monitor selected I/O Pins and wait until they the expected value appears or a timeout expires.
Parameters:
- pinout: Value for selected output pins.
- pinselect: Selects which output pins will be modified.
- pinwait: Wait timeout for the selected output to stabilize. A debugger must extend this timeout to the closest possible time granularity.
- 0 = no wait
- 1 .. 3000000 = time in microseconds (max 3s)

- ... : Additional function parameters to replace format string specifiers. Each parameter can be a constant string, or an expression that resolves to an unsigned 64-bit integer. A parameter type must match the corresponding specifier type.
Return Value:
Always returns 0.
- Note
- For 32-bit specifiers the Message command must print the lower 32 Bit of a 64 Bit debug access variable.

LoadDebugInfo("file") | Loads DWARF debug information from an application executable.
Parameters:
- file: A constant string with the path to the executable. The path must be relative to the root folder of the pack and use the format path/name.extension. It must not be an expression and it must be enclosed by quotes.
Return Value:
Returns 0 after successful debug information load.
Returns 1 if debug information load failed.

- Note
- Target memory access functions must perform a debug access of the size indicated by their name. The target system must support debug accesses of this size.
- Results of all functions are casted to 64-bit unsigned integer values.
- Some target access functions determine the used debug and access port by the current values of the __dp and __ap debug access variables. If a target access requires a different debug or access port than the default ones, it must change these values. This change is held until finishing the sequence the change has occurred in.
