4.3.5.  OpenRISC 1000 Target Functions to Handle Breakpoints and Watchpoints

The OpenRISC 1000 can support hardware breakpoints and watchpoints, if matchpoints are free in the debug unit.

[Note]Note

Beware of confusion over the term "watchpoint". It is used in GDB to mean a location, being watched for read or write activity. These may be implemented in hardware or software.

If implemented in hardware, they may make use of the OpenRISC 1000 Debug Unit mechanism, which also uses the term watchpoint. This document uses the terms "GDB watchpoint" and "OpenRISC 1000 watchpoint" where there is any risk of confusion.
