Hello, Let's assume the debugger uses the direct system bus access to set a software breakpoint on address 'A', which means it temporarily write an 'EBREAK' into the data memory at address 'A', but the core may has already cached the memory data 'X' of an address 'A' in the data cache. In order to achieve that the core will execute the new 'EBREAK' instruction instead of the originally cached data 'X, the debugger needs to flush the core's data cache before set a software breakpoint.
I have two ideas: 1. OpenOCD tries to execute cbo.flush before write memory via sysbus, but this destroys the benefits of sysbus access. 2. Restricting software breakpoint settings can only be done through progbuf and abstract, but restricting set a software breakpoint via sysbus seems unreasonable. Can anyone have any suggestions?
