Debug and trace

nRF54L15 | nRF54L10 | nRF54L05 Datasheet

The debug and trace system is a flexible and powerful mechanism for non-intrusive debugging.

The main features of the debug and trace system are the following:
  • Access port connection for Arm® Cortex®-M33
    • Eight breakpoints
    • Four watchpoint comparators
    • Instrumentation trace macrocell (ITM)
    • Embedded trace macrocell (ETM)
    • Access protection through APPROTECT, SECUREAPPROTECT, and ERASEPROTECT
  • Serial wire debug (SWD) interface, protocol version 2
  • Control-access port (CTRL-AP) that enables device control when other debug access ports (DAP) have been disabled by the access port protection

  • Trace port interface unit (TPIU)
    • 4-bit parallel trace of ITM and ETM trace data
    • Serial wire output (SWO) trace of ITM data
