# GICR_IPRIORITYR<n>E, Interrupt Priority Registers (extended PPI range), n = 8 - 23

The GICR_IPRIORITYR<n>E characteristics are:

## Purpose

Holds the priority of the corresponding interrupt for each extended PPI supported by the GIC.

## Configuration

RW fields in this register reset to architecturally UNKNOWN values.

This register is present only when GIC, >=3.1 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to GICR_IPRIORITYR<n>E are RES0.

A copy of this register is provided for each Redistributor.

## Attributes

GICR_IPRIORITYR<n>E is a 32-bit register.

## Field descriptions

The GICR_IPRIORITYR<n>E 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
Priority_offset_3B | Priority_offset_2B | Priority_offset_1B | Priority_offset_0B

#### Priority_offset_3B, bits [31:24]

Interrupt priority value from an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED range, at byte offset 3. Lower priority values correspond to greater priority of the interrupt.

This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

#### Priority_offset_2B, bits [23:16]

Interrupt priority value from an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED range, at byte offset 2. Lower priority values correspond to greater priority of the interrupt.

This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

#### Priority_offset_1B, bits [15:8]

Interrupt priority value from an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED range, at byte offset 1. Lower priority values correspond to greater priority of the interrupt.

This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

#### Priority_offset_0B, bits [7:0]

Interrupt priority value from an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED range, at byte offset 0. Lower priority values correspond to greater priority of the interrupt.

This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

For interrupt ID m, when DIV and MOD are the integer division and modulo operations:

- The corresponding GICR_IPRIORITYR<n> number, n, is given by n = (m-1024) DIV 4.
- The offset of the required GICR_IPRIORITYR<n>E register is (0x400 + (4*n)).
- The byte offset of the required Priority field in this register is m MOD 4, where:
  - Byte offset 0 refers to register bits [7:0].
  - Byte offset 1 refers to register bits [15:8].
  - Byte offset 2 refers to register bits [23:16].
  - Byte offset 3 refers to register bits [31:24].

## Accessing the GICR_IPRIORITYR<n>E

When affinity routing is not enabled for the Security state of an interrupt in GICR_ISACTIVER<n>E, the corresponding bit is RES0.

When GICD_CTLR.DS==0:

- A field that corresponds to a Group 0 or Secure Group 1 interrupt is RAZ/WI to Non-secure accesses.
- A Non-secure access to a field that corresponds to a Non-secure Group 1 interrupt behaves as described in Software accesses of interrupt priority.

Bits corresponding to unimplemented interrupts are RAZ/WI.

Note

Implementations must ensure that an interrupt that is pending at the time of the write uses either the old value or the new value and must ensure that the interrupt is neither lost nor handled more than once. The effect of the change must be visible in finite time.

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

Component | Frame | Offset | Instance
--- | --- | --- | ---
GIC Redistributor | SGI_base | 0x0400 + 4n | GICR_IPRIORITYR<n>E

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.
