Information
9.14.1 Debug Module State in Low Power Modes
The following table shows the state of the debug modules in low power modes. These
terms are used:
• FF = Full functionality. In VLPR and VLPW the system frequency is limited, but if a
module does not have a limitation in its functionality, it is still listed as FF.
• static = Module register states and associated memories are retained.
• OFF = Modules are powered off; module is in reset state upon wakeup.

9.15 Debug & Security
When security is enabled (FSEC[SEC] != 10), the debug port capabilities are limited in
order to prevent exploitation of secure data. In the secure state the debugger still has
access to the MDM-AP Status Register and can determine the current security state of the
device. In the case of a secure device, the debugger also has the capability of performing
a mass erase operation via writes to the MDM-AP Control Register. In the case of a
secure device that has mass erase disabled (FSEC[MEEN] = 10), attempts to mass erase
via the debug interface are blocked.
