ID_PFR0: Processor Feature Register 0

Purpose

Gives top-level information about the instruction sets and other features supported by the PE in AArch32 state.

Must be interpreted with ID_PFR1.

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_PFR0 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register ID_PFR0_EL1[31:0].

This register is present only when EL1 is capable of using AArch32. Otherwise, direct accesses to ID_PFR0 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

ID_PFR0 is a 32-bit register.
