Clarification on Debug Register Configuration in STM32H755

[wukong]

Hi,

I'm working with the NUCLEO-H755ZI-Q, which features dual cores (Cortex-M4 & Cortex-M7). I’m trying to understand whether these two cores have separate debug registers, such as DHCSR (Debug Halting Control and Status Register).

I have reviewed RM0399 and the Armv7-M Architecture Reference Manual, but I couldn't find a definitive answer. To investigate further, I attempted to access DHCSR (0xE000EDF0) on AP0 and AP3 using STM32CubeProgrammer, and I observed that both cores displayed the same value. However, when running a project in STM32CubeIDE, where I separately access DHCSR on M4 and M7, I see different values for each core.

This discrepancy has left me confused about the debug register configuration on STM32H755. Do Cortex-M4 and Cortex-M7 maintain independent debug registers, or are they shared?

Any insights or official documentation references would be greatly appreciated!

Each core has its own debug registers. The DHCSR register and other debug registers are part of the Cortex core.

Thank you for your help! Is there any manual or example that supports this?
