Core Debug
shows the Debug Architecture used in the SAM4L. The Cortex-M4 embeds four func-
tional units for debug:
• FPB (Flash Patch Breakpoint)
• DWT (Data Watchpoint and Trace)
• ITM (Instrumentation Trace Macrocell)
• TPIU (Trace Port Interface Unit)
The debug architecture information that follows is mainly dedicated to developers of SWJ-DP
Emulators/Probes and debugging tool vendors for Cortex-M4 based microcontrollers. For further
details on SWJ-DP see the Cortex-M4 technical reference manual.

Debug Architecture
8.6.1
FPB (Flash Patch Breakpoint)
The FPB:
• Implements hardware breakpoints
• Patches (on the fly) code and data being fetched by the Cortex-M4 core from code space
with data in the system space. Definition of code and system spaces can be found in the
System Address Map section of the ARMv7-M Architecture Reference Manual.
