Arm System Registers view

The Arm System Registers view provides the structured view of the Arm System registers (if available) of the target hardware.

The Arm System Registers view is included in the Debug perspective by default. If the view was closed, reopen it from the menu by selecting Window > Show View > Other > Debug > Arm System Registers.

The Arm System Registers view presents the information about the Arm System registers in a tabular format. The Peripherals column displays the registers arranged in a hierarchy with the following levels (from top to bottom): a group of registers, a peripheral, a cluster (if set), a register, a field (sequential bits within a register). Any node in the hierarchy can be expanded or collapsed with a click.

The Description column provides the information about the object shown in the Registers column.

The remaining columns are populated for the “register” nodes:

Reset: Displays the reset value of the register in the hexadecimal format, for instance, 0x00000000. A mouse cursor moved over the hex value displays a tooltip with the binary equivalent.
Note: A “zero” value is displayed if the reset value is either set to 0x00000000 or not defined for the register.
Access: Displays the register access type (Read-Only, Read-Write, Write-Only).

The toolbar of the Arm System Registers view includes the following buttons (from left to right):

	(Show structure)	Toggle for the Arm System Registers view to show registers combined in categories.
