The CCSIDR characteristics are:
Provides information about the architecture of the currently selected cache.
When ARMv8.3-CCIDX is implemented, this register is used in conjunction with CCSIDR2.
AArch32 System register CCSIDR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register CCSIDR_EL1[31:0] .
The implementation includes one CCSIDR for each cache that it can access. CSSELR and the Security state select which Cache Size ID Register is accessible.
CCSIDR is a 32-bit register.
The CCSIDR bit assignments are:
31 | 30 | 29 | 28 | 27 | 26 | 25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Associativity | LineSize |
The parameters NumSets, Associativity, and LineSize in these registers define the architecturally visible parameters that are required for the cache maintenance by Set/Way instructions. They are not guaranteed to represent the actual microarchitectural features of a design. You cannot make any inference about the actual sizes of caches based on these parameters.
Reserved, RES0.
(Associativity of cache) - 1, therefore a value of 0 indicates an associativity of 1. The associativity does not have to be a power of 2.
(Log2(Number of bytes in cache line)) - 4. For example:
For a line length of 16 bytes: Log2(16) = 4, LineSize entry = 0. This is the minimum line length.
For a line length of 32 bytes: Log2(32) = 5, LineSize entry = 1.
31 | 30 | 29 | 28 | 27 | 26 | 25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
UNKNOWN | NumSets | Associativity | LineSize |
The parameters NumSets, Associativity, and LineSize in these registers define the architecturally visible parameters that are required for the cache maintenance by Set/Way instructions. They are not guaranteed to represent the actual microarchitectural features of a design. You cannot make any inference about the actual sizes of caches based on these parameters.
Reserved, UNKNOWN.
(Number of sets in cache) - 1, therefore a value of 0 indicates 1 set in the cache. The number of sets does not have to be a power of 2.
(Associativity of cache) - 1, therefore a value of 0 indicates an associativity of 1. The associativity does not have to be a power of 2.
(Log2(Number of bytes in cache line)) - 4. For example:
For a line length of 16 bytes: Log2(16) = 4, LineSize entry = 0. This is the minimum line length.
For a line length of 32 bytes: Log2(32) = 5, LineSize entry = 1.
If CSSELR.Level is programmed to a cache level that is not implemented, then on a read of the CCSIDR the behavior is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE, and can be one of the following:
Accesses to this register use the following encodings:
opc1 | opc2 | CRn | coproc | CRm |
---|---|---|---|---|
0b001 | 0b000 | 0b0000 | 0b1111 | 0b0000 |
