The ID_MMFR1_EL1 characteristics are:
Provides information about the implemented memory model and memory management support in AArch32 state.
Must be interpreted with ID_MMFR0_EL1, ID_MMFR2_EL1, ID_MMFR3_EL1, and ID_MMFR4_EL1.
For general information about the interpretation of the ID registers see 'Principles of the ID scheme for fields in ID registers' in the ARMv8 ARM, section D7.1.3.
This register is part of the Identification registers functional group.
AArch64 System register ID_MMFR1_EL1 is architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register ID_MMFR1.
In an implementation that supports only AArch64 state, this register is UNKNOWN.
ID_MMFR1_EL1 is a 32-bit register.
The ID_MMFR1_EL1 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 |

This register can be read using MRS with the following syntax:
MRS <Xt>, <systemreg>
This syntax uses the following encoding in the System instruction encoding space:
<systemreg> | op0 | op1 | CRn | CRm | op2 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
ID_MMFR1_EL1 | 11 | 000 | 0000 | 0001 | 101 |
The register is accessible as follows:
Control | Accessibility | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
E2H | TGE | NS | EL0 | EL1 | EL2 | EL3 |
x | x | 0 | - | RO | n/a | RO |
x | 0 | 1 | - | RO | RO | RO |

This table applies to all instructions that can access this register.
For a description of the prioritization of any generated exceptions, see section D1.13.2 (Synchronous exception prioritization) in the ARM® Architecture Reference Manual, ARMv8, for ARMv8-A architecture profile. Subject to the prioritization rules, the following traps and enables are applicable when accessing this register.
When EL2 is implemented and is using AArch64 and SCR_EL3.NS==1 && HCR_EL2.E2H==0 :
If HCR_EL2.TID3==1, Non-secure read accesses to this register from EL1 are trapped to EL2.
When EL2 is implemented and is using AArch64 and SCR_EL3.NS==1 && HCR_EL2.E2H==1 && HCR_EL2.TGE==0 :
If HCR_EL2.TID3==1, Non-secure read accesses to this register from EL1 are trapped to EL2.
