Breakpoints Generated Via The TRIG Bit
If a TRIG triggers occur, the Final State is entered whereby tracing trigger alignment is defined by the
TALIGN bit. If a tracing session is selected by the TSOURCE bit, breakpoints are requested when the
tracing session has completed, thus if Begin aligned triggering is selected, the breakpoint is requested only
on completion of the subsequent trace (see

Breakpoint Priorities
If a TRIG trigger occurs after Begin aligned tracing has already started, then the TRIG no longer has an
effect. When the associated tracing session is complete, the breakpoint occurs. Similarly if a TRIG is
followed by a subsequent comparator channel match, it has no effect, since tracing has already started.

If a forced SWI breakpoint coincides with a BGND in user code with BDM enabled, then the BDM is
activated by the BGND and the breakpoint to SWI is suppressed.

DBG Breakpoint Priorities And BDM Interfacing
Breakpoint operation is dependent on the state of the BDM module. If the BDM module is active, the CPU
is executing out of BDM firmware, thus comparator matches and associated breakpoints are disabled. In
addition, while executing a BDM TRACE command, tagging into BDM is disabled. If BDM is not active,
the breakpoint gives priority to BDM requests over SWI requests if the breakpoint happens to coincide
with a SWI instruction in user code. On returning from BDM, the SWI from user code gets executed.

BDM cannot be entered from a breakpoint unless the ENABLE bit is set in the BDM. If entry to BDM via
a BGND instruction is attempted and the ENABLE bit in the BDM is cleared, the CPU actually executes
the BDM firmware code, checks the ENABLE and returns if ENABLE is not set. If not serviced by the
monitor then the breakpoint is re-asserted when the BDM returns to normal CPU flow.
