MVFR2, Media and VFP Feature Register 2

The MVFR2 characteristics are:

Purpose

Describes the features provided by the AArch32 Advanced SIMD and Floating-point implementation.

Must be interpreted with MVFR0 and MVFR1.

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

Configuration

AArch32 System register MVFR2 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register MVFR2_EL1[31:0].

This register is present only when EL1 is capable of using AArch32. Otherwise, direct accesses to MVFR2 are UNDEFINED.

Implemented only if the implementation includes Advanced SIMD and floating-point instructions.

Attributes

MVFR2 is a 32-bit register.

Accessing MVFR2

Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:

VMRS{<c>}{<q>} <Rt>, <spec_reg>
