7. User Break Controller (UBC)

7.3.1
The flow from setting of break conditions to user break interrupt exception processing is described
below:
1. The user break addresses are set in the user break address register (UBAR), the desired masked
2. The UBC uses the method shown in figure 7.2 to determine whether set conditions have been
3. The interrupt controller checks the accepted user break interrupt request signal’s priority level.
4. The INTC sends the user break interrupt request signal to the CPU, which begins user break

bits in the addresses are set in the user break address mask register (UBAMR) and the breaking
bus cycle type is set in the user break bus cycle register (UBBR). If even one of the three
groups of the UBBR’s CPU cycle/DMAC, DTC cycle select bits (CP1, CP0), instruction
fetch/data access select bits (ID1, ID0), and read/write select bits (RW1, RW0) is set to 00 (no
user break generated), no user break interrupt will be generated even if all other conditions are
satisfied. When using user break interrupts, always be certain to establish bit conditions for all
of these three groups.
satisfied or not. When the set conditions are satisfied, the UBC sends a user break interrupt
request signal to the interrupt controller (INTC).
The user break interrupt has priority level 15, so it is accepted only if the interrupt mask level
in bits I3 to I0 in the status register (SR) is 14 or lower. When the I3 to I0 bit level is 15, the
user break interrupt cannot be accepted but it is held pending until user break interrupt
exception processing can be carried out. Consequently, user break interrupts within NMI
exception service routines cannot be accepted, since the I3 to I0 bit level is 15. However, if the
I3 to I0 bit level is changed to 14 or lower at the start of the NMI exception service routine,
user break interrupts become acceptable thereafter. See section 6, Interrupt Controller (INTC),
for the details on the handling of priority levels.
