2.3.3
Register 0, Cache type register
This is a read-only register that contains information about the size and architecture of
the instruction cache (ICache) and data cache (DCache), allowing operating systems to
establish how to perform operations such as cache cleaning and lockdown. Future ARM
cached processors will contain this register, allowing RTOS vendors to produce
future-proof versions of their operating systems.
The cache type register is accessed by reading CP15 register 0 with the
opcode_2
field
set to 1. For example:
MRC p15,0,Rd,c0,c0,1; returns cache details
The format of the register is shown in Table 2-4.
