CSSELR: Cache Size Selection Register

Purpose

Selects the current Cache Size ID Register, CCSIDR, by specifying the required cache level and the cache type, which is either instruction cache or data cache.

If FEAT_CCIDX is implemented, CSSELR also selects the current CCSIDR2.

Configuration

This register is banked between CSSELR and CSSELR_S and CSSELR_NS.

AArch32 System register CSSELR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register CSSELR_EL1[31:0].

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

Attributes

CSSELR is a 32-bit register.

This register has the following instances:
