# CP15ISB, Instruction Synchronization Barrier System instruction

The CP15ISB characteristics are:

## Purpose

Performs an Instruction Synchronization Barrier.

Arm deprecates any use of this System instruction, and strongly recommends that software use the ISB instruction instead.

## Configuration

## Attributes

CP15ISB is a 32-bit System instruction.

## Field descriptions

CP15ISB ignores the value in the register specified by the instruction encoding. Software does not have to write a value to the register before issuing this instruction.

## Executing the CP15ISB instruction

Accesses to this instruction use the following encodings:

#### MCR{<c>}{<q>} <coproc>, {#}<opc1>, <Rt>, <CRn>, <CRm>{, {#}<opc2>}

coproc | opc1 | CRn | CRm | opc2
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
0b1111 | 0b000 | 0b0111 | 0b0101 | 0b100
