ID_MMFR4_EL1, AArch32 Memory Model Feature Register 4

The ID_MMFR4_EL1 characteristics are:

Purpose

Provides information about the implemented memory model and memory management support in AArch32 state.

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

Configuration

AArch64 System register ID_MMFR4_EL1 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register ID_MMFR4[31:0].

Note

Prior to the introduction of the features described by this register, this register was unnamed and reserved, RES0 from EL1, EL2, and EL3.

Attributes

ID_MMFR4_EL1 is a 64-bit register.
