EDAA32PFR, External Debug AuxiliaryAArch32 Processor Feature Register

The EDAA32PFR characteristics are:

Purpose

Provides information about implemented PE features.

Note

The register mnemonic, EDAA32PFR, is derived from previous definitions of this register that defined this register only when AArch64 was not supported at any Exception level.

For general information about the interpretation of the ID registers, see 'Principles of the ID scheme for fields in ID registers'.

Configuration

It is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether EDAA32PFR is implemented in the Core power domain or in the Debug power domain.

This register is present only when AArch32 is supported at any Exception level. Otherwise, direct accesses to EDAA32PFR are RES0.

Attributes

EDAA32PFR is a 64-bit register.

The EDAA32PFR bit assignments are:

MSA_fracEL3, bits [1915:1612]

When EDAA32PFR.PMSA == 0b0000 and EDAA32PFR.VMSA == 0b1111:

Memory System Architecture fractional field. This holds the information on additional Memory System Architectures supported. Defined values are:

MSA_fracMeaning
0b0001

PMSAv8-64 supported in all translation regimes. VMSAv8-64 not supported.

0b0010

PMSAv8-64 supported in all translation regimes. In addition to PMSAv8-64, stage 1 EL1&0 translation regime also supports VMSAv8-64.

All other values are reserved.


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

EL3, bits [15:12]

When EDPFR.EL3 == 0b0000:

AArch32 EL3 Exception level handling. Defined values are:

EL3Meaning
0b0000

EL3 is not implemented or can be executed in AArch64 state.

0b0001

EL3 can be executed in AArch32 state only.

When the value of EDPFR.EL3 is non-zero, this field must be 0b0000.

All other values are reserved.

Note

EDPFR.{EL1, EL0} indicate whether EL1 and EL0 can only be executed in AArch32 state.

EL2, bits [11:8]

Otherwise:

Reserved, RAZ.

EL2, bits [11:8]

When EDPFR.EL2 == 0b0000:

AArch32 EL2 Exception level handling. Defined values are:

EL2Meaning
0b0000

EL2 is not implemented or can be executed in AArch64 state.

0b0001

EL2 can be executed in AArch32 state only.

When the value of EDPFR.EL2 is non-zero, this field must be 0b0000.

All other values are reserved.

Note

EDPFR.{EL1, EL0} indicate whether EL1 and EL0 can only be executed in AArch32 state.


Otherwise:

Reserved, RAZ.

PMSA, bits [7:4]

Indicates support for a 32-bit PMSA. Defined values are:

PMSAMeaning
0b0000

PMSA-32PMSA not supported.

0b0100

PMSAv8-32Support supported.for an Armv8-R PMSAv8-32.

All other values are reserved.

All other values are reserved. In Armv8-A, the only permitted value is 0b0000.

VMSA, bits [3:0]

Indicates support for a VMSA. When the PMSA field is nonzero, determines support for a VMSA. When the PMSA field is 0b0000, VMSA is supported. Defined values are:

In Armv8-A, the only permitted value is 0b0000.

VMSA, bits [3:0]

When EDAA32PFR.PMSA != 0b0000:

Indicates support for a VMSA in addition to a 32-bit PMSA Defined values are:
