# GICC_RPR, CPU Interface Running Priority Register

The GICC_RPR characteristics are:

## Purpose

This register indicates the running priority of the CPU interface.

## Configuration

This register is available in all configurations of the GIC. If the GIC implementation supports two Security states this register is Common.

## Attributes

GICC_RPR is a 32-bit register.

## Field descriptions

The GICC_RPR 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 | Priority

#### Bits [31:8]

Reserved, RES0.

#### Priority, bits [7:0]

The current running priority on the CPU interface. This is the group priority of the current active interrupt.

If there are no active interrupts on the CPU interface, or all active interrupts have undergone a priority drop, the value returned is the Idle priority.

The priority returned is the group priority as if the BPR was set to the minimum value.

## Accessing the GICC_RPR

If there is no active interrupt on the CPU interface, the idle priority value is returned.

If the GIC implementation supports two Security states, a Non-secure read of the Priority field returns:

- 0x00 if the field value is less than 0x80.
- The Non-secure view of the Priority value if the field value is 0x80 or more.

See 'Priority control of Secure and Non-secure interrupts' in the GICv3 Architecture Specification for more information.

Note

Software cannot determine the number of implemented priority bits from this register.

#### GICC_RPR can be accessed through the memory-mapped interfaces:

Component | Offset | Instance
--- | --- | ---
GIC CPU interface | 0x0014 | GICC_RPR

This interface is accessible as follows:

- When GICD_CTLR.DS == 0b0 access to this register is RO.
- When IsAccessSecure() access to this register is RO.
- When !IsAccessSecure() access to this register is RO.
