Glossary-3
Halt mode 
One of two debugging modes. When debugging is performed in halt mode, 
the core stops when it encounters a watchpoint or breakpoint, and is 
isolated from the rest of the system. See also 
Monitor mode
.
ICE
See 
In-circuit emulator.
Idempotent 
A mathematical quantity that when applied to itself under a given binary 
operation equals itself.
In-circuit emulator 
An 
In-Circuit Emulator
 (ICE), is a device that aids the debugging of 
hardware and software. Debuggable ARM processors such as the 
ARM720T processor have extra hardware to assist this process. 
See also 
EmbeddedICE-RT.
IRQ 
Interrupt request.
Joint Test Action Group 
The name of the organization that developed standard IEEE 1149.1. This 
standard defines a boundary-scan architecture used for in-circuit testing of 
integrated circuit devices.
JTAG 
See 
Joint Test Action Group
.
Link register 
This register holds the address of the next instruction after a branch with 
link instruction.
Little-endian memory 
Memory organization where the most significant byte of a word is at a 
higher address than the least significant byte.
LR
See 
Link register
Macrocell 
A complex logic block with a defined interface and behavior. A typical VLSI 
system will comprise several macrocells (such as an ARM7TDMI-S core, an 
ETM7, and a memory block) plus application-specific logic.
Memory Management Unit 
Allows control of a memory system. Most of the control is provided through 
translation tables held in memory. 
MMU
