The download bit acts as a branch flag, signalling to the handler to continue with the
download. This removes the need for a counter in the debug handler.
The overflow flag indicates that the debugger attempted to download the next word
before the debugger read the previous word.
More details on the Download bit, Overflow flag and high-speed download, in general,
can be found in “Transmit/Receive Control Register” on page 98.
Following is example code showing how the Download bit and Overflow flag are used in
the debug handler:
3.6.15.3 Ending a Debug Session
Prior to ending a debug session, the debugger should take the following actions:
1. Clear the DCSR (disable debug, exit Halt Mode, clear all vector traps, disable the
trace buffer)
2. Turn off all breakpoints.
3. Invalidate the mini instruction cache.
4. Invalidate the main instruction cache.
5. Invalidate the BTB.
