ID_MMFR4: Memory Model Feature Register 4

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

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

This register is present only when EL1 is capable of using AArch32. Otherwise, direct accesses to ID_MMFR4 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

ID_MMFR4 is a 32-bit register.
