E.5 Architecture-Specific Protocol Details

This section describes how the remote protocol is applied to specific target architectures. Also see Standard Target Features, for details of XML target descriptions for each architecture.

E.5.1 ARM

E.5.1.1 Breakpoint Kinds

These breakpoint kinds are defined for the `Z0' and `Z1' packets.

2

16-bit Thumb mode breakpoint.

3

32-bit Thumb mode (Thumb-2) breakpoint.

4

32-bit ARM mode breakpoint.

E.5.2 MIPS

E.5.2.1 Register Packet Format

The following g/G packets have previously been defined. In the below, some thirty-two bit registers are transferred as sixty-four bits. Those registers should be zero/sign extended (which?) to fill the space allocated. Register bytes are transferred in target byte order. The two nibbles within a register byte are transferred most-significant - least-significant.

MIPS32

All registers are transferred as thirty-two bit quantities in the order: 32 general-purpose; sr; lo; hi; bad; cause; pc; 32 floating-point registers; fsr; fir; fp.

MIPS64

All registers are transferred as sixty-four bit quantities (including thirty-two bit registers such as sr). The ordering is the same as MIPS32.
