SAM7S Series [DATASHEET]
6175M–ATARM–26-Oct-12
EXT - shows the use of the extension identifier register
NVPTYP and NVPSIZ - identifies the type of embedded non-volatile memory and its size
ARCH - identifies the set of embedded peripheral
SRAMSIZ - indicates the size of the embedded SRAM
EPROC - indicates the embedded ARM processor
VERSION - gives the revision of the silicon
The second register is device-dependent and reads 0 if the bit EXT is 0.
26.4.8 ICE Access Prevention
The Debug Unit allows blockage of access to the system through the ARM processor's ICE interface. This feature
is implemented via the register Force NTRST (DBGU_FNR), that allows assertion of the NTRST signal of the ICE
Interface. Writing the bit FNTRST (Force NTRST) to 1 in this register prevents any activity on the TAP controller.
On standard devices, the FNTRST bit resets to 0 and thus does not prevent ICE access.
This feature is especially useful on custom ROM devices for customers who do not want their on-chip code to be
visible.
