To use the Memory Model Feature Register 0 read CP15 with:
•
Opcode_1 set to 0
•
CRn set to c0
•
CRm set to c1
•
Opcode_2 set to 4.
For example:
MRC p15, 0, <Rd>, c0, c1, 4 ;Read Memory Model Feature Register 0.
c0, Memory Model Feature Register 1
The purpose of the Memory Model Feature Register 1 is to provide information about the
memory model, memory management, cache support, and TLB operations of the processor.
The Memory Model Feature Register 1 is:
•
in CP15 c0
•
a 32-bit read-only register common to the Secure and Non-secure worlds
•
accessible in privileged modes only.
Figure 3-18 shows the bit arrangement for Memory Model Feature Register 1.
Figure 3-18 Memory Model Feature Register 1 format
Table 3-22 lists how the bit values correspond with the Memory Model Feature Register 1
functions.
