Along with MAIR1, provides the memory attribute encodings corresponding to the possible AttrIndx values in a Long-descriptor format translation table entry for stage 1 translations.
AttrIndx[2] indicates the MAIR register to be used:
This register is banked between MAIR0 and MAIR0_S and MAIR0_NS.
AArch32 System register MAIR0 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register MAIR_EL1[31:0] when EL3 is not implemented or EL3 is using AArch64.
AArch32 System register MAIR0 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register PRRR[31:0] when EL3 is not implemented or EL3 is using AArch64.
AArch32 System register MAIR0 bits [31:0] (MAIR0_NS) are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register PRRR[31:0] (PRRR_NS) when EL3 is using AArch32.
AArch32 System register MAIR0 bits [31:0] (MAIR0_S) are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register PRRR[31:0] (PRRR_S) when EL3 is using AArch32.
This register is present only when EL1 is capable of using AArch32. Otherwise, direct accesses to MAIR0 are UNDEFINED.
MAIR0 and PRRR are the same register, with a different view depending on the value of TTBCR.EAE:
When EL3 is using AArch32, write access to MAIR0(S) is disabled when the CP15SDISABLE signal is asserted HIGH.
MAIR0 is a 32-bit register.
This register has the following instances:
| 31 | 30 | 29 | 28 | 27 | 26 | 25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |

The memory attribute encoding for an AttrIndx[2:0] entry in a Long descriptor format translation table entry, where:
Bits [7:4] are encoded as follows:
| Attr<n>[7:4] | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0b0000 | Device memory. See encoding of Attr<n>[3:0] for the type of Device memory. |
| 0b00RW, RW not 0b00 | Normal memory, Outer Write-Through Transient. |
| 0b0100 | Normal memory, Outer Non-cacheable. |
| 0b01RW, RW not 0b00 | Normal memory, Outer Write-Back Transient. |
| 0b10RW | Normal memory, Outer Write-Through Non-transient. |
| 0b11RW | Normal memory, Outer Write-Back Non-transient. |
R = Outer Read-Allocate policy, W = Outer Write-Allocate policy.
The meaning of bits [3:0] depends on the value of bits [7:4]:
| Attr<n>[3:0] | Meaning when Attr<n>[7:4] is 0b0000 | Meaning when Attr<n>[7:4] is not 0b0000 |
|---|---|---|
| 0b0000 | Device-nGnRnE memory | UNPREDICTABLE |
| 0b00RW, RW not 0b00 | UNPREDICTABLE | Normal memory, Inner Write-Through Transient |
| 0b0100 | Device-nGnRE memory | Normal memory, Inner Non-cacheable |
| 0b01RW, RW not 0b00 | UNPREDICTABLE | Normal memory, Inner Write-Back Transient |
| 0b1000 | Device-nGRE memory | Normal memory, Inner Write-Through Non-transient (RW=0b00) |
| 0b10RW, RW not 0b00 | UNPREDICTABLE | Normal memory, Inner Write-Through Non-transient |
| 0b1100 | Device-GRE memory | Normal memory, Inner Write-Back Non-transient (RW=0b00) |
| 0b11RW, RW not 0b00 | UNPREDICTABLE | Normal memory, Inner Write-Back Non-transient |
R = Inner Read-Allocate policy, W = Inner Write-Allocate policy.
The R and W bits in some Attr<n> fields have the following meanings:
| R or W | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0b0 | No Allocate |
| 0b1 | Allocate |
When FEAT_XS is implemented, stage 1 Inner Write-Back Cacheable, Outer Write-Back Cacheable memory types have the XS attribute set to 0.
The reset behavior of this field is:
