ID_DFR0_EL1: AArch32 Debug Feature Register 0

Purpose

Provides top level information about the debug system in AArch32 state.

Must be interpreted with the Main ID Register, MIDR_EL1.

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_DFR0_EL1 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register ID_DFR0[31:0].

Attributes

ID_DFR0_EL1 is a 64-bit register.
