ICV_AP1R<n>, Interrupt Controller Virtual Active Priorities Group 1 Registers, n = 0 - 3

The ICV_AP1R<n> characteristics are:

Purpose

Provides information about virtual Group 1 active priorities.

This register is part of:

Configuration

AArch32 System register ICV_AP1R<n> is architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register ICV_AP1R<n>_EL1.

Attributes

ICV_AP1R<n> is a 32-bit register.

Field descriptions

The ICV_AP1R<n> bit assignments are:

313029282726252423222120191817161514131211109876543210
IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED

IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED, bits [31:0]

IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED.

When this register has an architecturally-defined reset value, this field resets to 0.

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

Accessing the ICV_AP1R<n>

This register can be read using MRC with the following syntax:

MRC <syntax>

This register can be written using MCR with the following syntax:

MCR <syntax>

This syntax uses the following encoding in the System instruction encoding space:

<syntax> opc1opc2CRncoprocCRm
p15, 0, <Rt>, c12, c9, <opc2>0000:n<1:0> 110011111001

When HCR.IMO is set to 0, execution of this encoding at Non-secure EL1 results in an access to ICC_AP1R<n>.

Accessibility

The register is accessible as follows:

Control Accessibility
FMOIMOTGENSEL0EL1EL2EL3
xxx0 - ICC_AP1R<n> n/a ICC_AP1R<n>
xx11 - n/a ICC_AP1R<n> ICC_AP1R<n>
x001 - ICC_AP1R<n> ICC_AP1R<n> ICC_AP1R<n>
x101 - RW ICC_AP1R<n> ICC_AP1R<n>

This table applies to all instructions that can access this register.

The ICV_AP1R<n> registers are only accessible at Non-secure EL1 when HCR.IMO == 1.

Note

When HCR.IMO is set to 0, at Non-secure EL1, the instruction encoding used to access ICV_AP1R<n> results in an access to ICC_AP1R<n>.

Writing to these registers with any value other than the last read value of the register (or 0x00000000 when there are no Group 1 active priorities) might result in UNPREDICTABLE behavior of the virtual interrupt prioritization system, causing:

ICV_AP1R1 is only implemented in implementations that support 6 or more bits of priority. ICV_AP1R2 and ICV_AP1R3 are only implemented in implementations that support 7 bits of priority. Unimplemented registers are UNDEFINED.

Writing to the active priority registers in any order other than the following order might result in UNPREDICTABLE behavior of the interrupt prioritization system:

Traps and enables

For a description of the prioritization of any generated exceptions, see section G1.11.2 (Exception priority order) in the ARM® Architecture Reference Manual, ARMv8, for ARMv8-A architecture profile for exceptions taken to AArch32 state, and section D1.13.2 (Synchronous exception prioritization) for exceptions taken to AArch64 state. Subject to the prioritization rules, the following traps and enables are applicable when accessing this register.

In both Security states, and not dependent on other configuration bits:
