Debug connections to the device are supported through an Arm serial wire debug (SWD) compliant interface. The SWD interface requires two connections:
The SWD interface uses the standard logic levels of the device for SWD communication. See the device-specific data sheet for input and output logic levels for a given supply voltage (VDD). A SWCLK frequency of up to 10MHz is supported by the DEBUGSS.
During SWD operation, the SWDIO line can be driven high or driven low by either the target device or the debug probe. As either device can drive the line, when ownership of the shared SWDIO line is switched between the device and the debug probe, undriven time slots are inserted as a part of the SWD protocol. The primary purpose of the pullup resistor on the SWDIO line, and the pulldown resistor on the SWCLK line, is to place the SWD pins into a known state when no debug probe is attached. A minimum resistance of 100kΩ is recommended by Arm. The internal pullup/pulldown resistors fulfill this requirement and external resistors are not required for correct operation of the SWD interface.
After a power-on reset (POR), MSPM0 devices configure the SWD pins in SWD mode with an internal pullup resistor enabled on the SWDIO line and an internal pulldown resistor enabled on the SWCLK line. If the device configuration has not permanently disabled all SWD access, then the SWD interface is enabled during the boot process and a debug probe can be connected to the DEBUGSS.
In the event that a device was configured by software to enter SHUTDOWN mode, and a debug probe is then connected to the SWD pins with SWCLK active, wakeup logic will trigger an exit from SHUTDOWN mode and cause a BOR. A debug connection can then be established to the DEBUGSS after the BOR completes.
Upon physical connection of a debug probe, a configuration sequence must be sent from the debug probe to the target device to initiate a valid SWD connection with the SW-DP. An invalid sequence will not wake the device from SHUTDOWN mode. Once the sequence is applied and the SWD connection is established, communication with enabled debug access points is possible and the application code is alerted through assertion of the DEBUGSS PWRUPIFG interrupt. When the debug probe is disconnected and the SWD connection is lost, the PWRDWNIFG interrupt is asserted.
It is possible for application software to disable the SWD interface in SYSCTL, freeing the IO to be used for general purpose IO functionality. Review Section 2.4.1.4 in SYSCTL for using the SWD pins for functionality other than SWD. Once software disables SWD functionality, it is not possible to re-enable it other than by triggering a POR. A POR will automatically re-enable the SWD functionality and put the SWD pins into SWD mode with pullup/pulldown resistors enabled. To re-gain debug access to a device which contains software that disables the SWD pins at startup, it is necessary to hold the device in a reset state with the NRST pin during a POR. This will prevent the application software from starting and will allow the debug probe to gain access to the device, at which point a mass erase DSSM command can be sent from the integrated development environment to the device via the debug probe to remove the application software which is disabling the SWD pins.
