Break Module (BRK)

Technical Data

Features of the break module include:
When the internal address bus matches the value written in the break
address registers, the break module issues a breakpoint signal to the
CPU. The CPU then loads the instruction register with a software
interrupt instruction (SWI) after completion of the current CPU
instruction. The program counter vectors to $FFFC and $FFFD ($FEFC
and $FEFD in monitor mode).
The following events can cause a break interrupt to occur:
When a CPU-generated address matches the contents of the break
address registers, the break interrupt begins after the CPU completes its
current instruction. A return-from-interrupt instruction (RTI) in the break
routine ends the break interrupt and returns the MCU to normal
operation.

Accessible input/output (I/O) registers during the break interrupt
CPU-generated break interrupts
Software-generated break interrupts
COP disabling during break interrupts
A CPU-generated address (the address in the program counter)
matches the contents of the break address registers.
Software writes a logic 1 to the BRKA bit in the break status and
control register.
