# GICC_APR<n>, CPU Interface Active Priorities Registers, n = 0 - 3

The GICC_APR<n> characteristics are:

## Purpose

Provides information about interrupt active priorities.

## Configuration

Some or all RW fields of this register have defined reset values.

The contents of these registers are IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED with the one architectural requirement that the value 0x00000000 is consistent with no interrupts being active.

When GICD_CTLR.DS == 0, these registers are Banked, and Non-secure accesses do not affect Secure operation. The Secure copies of these registers hold active priorities for Group 0 interrupts, and the Non-secure copies provide a Non-secure view of the active priorities for Group 1 interrupts.

GICC_APR1 is only implemented in implementations that support 6 or more bits of priority. GICC_APR2 and GICC_APR3 are only implemented in implementations that support 7 bits of priority.

When GICD_CTLR.DS==1, these registers hold the active priorities for Group 0 interrupts, and the active priorities for Group 1 interrupts are held by the GICC_NSAPR<n> registers.

## Attributes

GICC_APR<n> is a 32-bit register.

## Field descriptions

The GICC_APR<n> 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
IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED

#### IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED, bits [31:0]

IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED.

This field resets to 0.

## Accessing the GICC_APR<n>

These registers are used only when System register access is not enabled. When System register access is enabled the following registers provide equivalent functionality:

- In AArch64:
  - For Group 0, ICC_AP0R<n>_EL1.
  - For Group 1, ICC_AP1R<n>_EL1.
- In AArch32:
  - For Group 0, ICC_AP0R<n>.
  - For Group 1, ICC_AP1R<n>.

#### GICC_APR<n> can be accessed through the memory-mapped interfaces:

Component | Offset | Instance
--- | --- | ---
GIC CPU interface | 0x00D0 + 4n | GICC_APR<n>

This interface is accessible as follows:

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