# EDWAR, External Debug Watchpoint Address Register

The EDWAR characteristics are:

## Purpose

Returns the virtual data address being accessed when a Watchpoint Debug Event was triggered.

## Configuration

EDWAR is in the Core power domain.

The value of this register is UNKNOWN if the PE is in Non-debug state, or if EDSCR.STATUS is not 0b101011.

## Attributes

EDWAR is a 64-bit register.

Watchpoint address
Watchpoint address

#### Bits [63:0]

Watchpoint address. The data virtual address being accessed when a Watchpoint Debug Event was triggered and caused entry to Debug state. This address must be within a naturally-aligned block of memory of power-of-two size no larger than the DC ZVA block size.

The value of this register is UNKNOWN if the PE is in Non-debug state, or if Debug state was entered other than for a Watchpoint debug event.

The value of EDWAR[63:32] is UNKNOWN if Debug state was entered for a Watchpoint debug event taken from AArch32 state.

The EDWAR is subject to the same alignment rules as the reporting of a watchpointed address in the FAR. See 'Determining the memory location that caused a Watchpoint exception'.

The reset behavior of this field is:

- On a Cold reset, this field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

## Accessing EDWAR

#### EDWAR can be accessed through the external debug interface:

Component | Offset | Instance
--- | --- | ---
Debug | 0x030 | EDWAR

This interface is accessible as follows:

- When DoubleLockStatus(), or !IsCorePowered() or OSLockStatus(), accesses to this register generate an error response.
- Otherwise, accesses to this register are RO.
