10.4.12. OS Lock Status Register

The DBGOSLSR characteristics are:

Purpose

Provides status information for the OS Lock.

Usage constraints

There are no usage constraints.

Configurations

Available in all configurations.

Attributes

See the register summary in Table 10.1.

Figure 10.14 shows the DBGOSLSR bit assignments.

BitsNameFunction
[31:4]-

Reserved, UNK.

[3]OSLM[1]

OS Lock Model implemented bit. This field identifies the form of OS Save and Restore mechanism implemented:

b10

The processor implements the OS Lock Model but does not implement DBGOSSRR.

Note

This field splits across the two non-contiguous bits in the register.

[2]nTT

Not 32-bit access. This bit is always RAZ. It indicates that a 32-bit access is required to write the key to the OS Lock Access Register.

[1]OSLK

This bit indicates the status of the OS Lock:

0

Lock not set.

1

Lock set.

The OS Lock is set or cleared by writing to the DBGOSLAR, see OS Lock Access Register.

Setting the OL Lock restricts access to Debug registers. See the ARM Architecture Reference Manual for more information.

[0]OSLM[0]

OS Lock Model implemented bit. This field identifies the form of OS Save and Restore mechanism implemented:

b10

The processor implements the OS Lock Model but does not implement DBGOSSRR.

Note

This field splits across the two non-contiguous bits in the register.
