# MVFR1_EL1, AArch32 Media and VFP Feature Register 1

The MVFR1_EL1 characteristics are:

## Purpose

Describes the features provided by the AArch32 Advanced SIMD and Floating-point implementation.

Must be interpreted with MVFR0_EL1 and MVFR2_EL1.

For general information about the interpretation of the ID registers see 'Principles of the ID scheme for fields in ID registers' in the Arm® Architecture Reference Manual, Armv8, for Armv8-A architecture profile, section D10.4.1.

## Configuration

AArch64 System register MVFR1_EL1 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register MVFR1[31:0] .

In an implementation where at least one Exception level supports execution in AArch32 state, but there is no support for Advanced SIMD and floating-point operation, this register is RAZ.

In an AArch64 only implementation, this register is UNKNOWN.

## Attributes

MVFR1_EL1 is a 64-bit register.

## Field descriptions

The MVFR1_EL1 bit assignments are:

63 | 62 | 61 | 60 | 59 | 58 | 57 | 56 | 55 | 54 | 53 | 52 | 51 | 50 | 49 | 48 | 47 | 46 | 45 | 44 | 43 | 42 | 41 | 40 | 39 | 38 | 37 | 36 | 35 | 34 | 33 | 32

All other values are reserved.

In Armv8-A, the permitted values are 0b0000 and 0b0001.

The Advanced SIMD and floating-point implementations must provide the same level of support for these instructions.

#### FPHP, bits [27:24]

Floating Point Half Precision. Indicates the level of half-precision floating-point support. Defined values are:

FPHP | Meaning
--- | ---
0b0000 | Not supported.
0b0001 | Floating-point half-precision conversion instructions are supported for conversion between single-precision and half-precision.
0b0010 | As for 0b0001, and adds instructions for conversion between double-precision and half-precision.
0b0011 | As for 0b0010, and adds support for half-precision floating-point arithmetic.

All other values are reserved.

In Armv8-A the permitted values are:

- 0b0000 in an implementation without floating-point support.

- 0b0011 in an implementation with floating-point support that includes the ARMv8.2-FP16 extension.

The level of support indicated by this field must be equivalent to the level of support indicated by the SIMDHP field, meaning the permitted values are:

Half Precision instructions supported | FPHP | SIMDHP
--- | --- | ---
No support | 0b0000 | 0b0000
Conversions only | 0b0010 | 0b0001

## Accessing the MVFR1_EL1

Accesses to this register use the following encodings:

#### MRS <Xt>, MVFR1_EL1

op0 | op1 | CRn | CRm | op2
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
0b11 | 0b000 | 0b0000 | 0b0011 | 0b001

if PSTATE.EL == EL0 then UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL1 then if EL2Enabled() && !ELUsingAArch32(EL2) && HCR_EL2.TID3 == '1' then AArch64.SystemAccessTrap(EL2, 0x18); else return MVFR1_EL1; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL2 then return MVFR1_EL1; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL3 then return MVFR1_EL1;
