# ICV_BPR1, Interrupt Controller Virtual Binary Point Register 1

The ICV_BPR1 characteristics are:

## Purpose

Defines the point at which the priority value fields split into two parts, the group priority field and the subpriority field. The group priority field determines virtual Group 1 interrupt preemption.

## Configuration

AArch32 System register ICV_BPR1 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register ICV_BPR1_EL1[31:0] .

Some or all RW fields of this register have defined reset values. These apply only if the PE resets into an Exception level that is using AArch32. If the PE resets into EL3 using AArch32 they apply only to the Secure instance of the register. Otherwise, RW fields in this register reset to architecturally UNKNOWN values.

## Attributes

ICV_BPR1 is a 32-bit register.

## Field descriptions

The ICV_BPR1 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
RES0 | BinaryPoint

#### Bits [31:3]

Reserved, RES0.

#### BinaryPoint, bits [2:0]

If the GIC is configured to use separate binary point fields for virtual Group 0 and virtual Group 1 interrupts, the value of this field controls how the 8-bit interrupt priority field is split into a group priority field, that determines interrupt preemption, and a subpriority field. This is done as follows:

Binary point value | Group priority field | Subpriority field | Field with binary point
--- | --- | --- | ---
0 | - | - | -
1 | [7:1] | [0] | ggggggg.s
2 | [7:2] | [1:0] | gggggg.ss
3 | [7:3] | [2:0] | ggggg.sss
4 | [7:4] | [3:0] | gggg.ssss
5 | [7:5] | [4:0] | ggg.sssss
6 | [7:6] | [5:0] | gg.ssssss
7 | [7] | [6:0] | g.sssssss

Writing 0 to this field will set this field to its reset value.

If ICV_CTLR.CBPR is set to 1, Non-secure EL1 reads return ICV_BPR0 + 1 saturated to 0b111. Non-secure EL1 writes are ignored.

This field resets to an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED non-zero value.

## Accessing the ICV_BPR1

The reset value is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED, but is equal to the minimum value of ICV_BPR0 plus one.

An attempt to program the binary point field to a value less than the reset value sets the field to the reset value.

Accesses to this register use the following encodings:
