ID_MMFR0_EL1: AArch32 Memory Model Feature Register 0

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

AArch64 System register ID_MMFR0_EL1 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register ID_MMFR0[31:0].

Attributes

ID_MMFR0_EL1 is a 64-bit register.
