MVFR1_EL1: AArch32 Media and VFP Feature Register 1

Purpose

Describes the features provided by the AArch32 Advanced SIMD and Floating-point implementation.

Must be interpreted with MVFR0_EL1 and MVFR2_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 MVFR1_EL1 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register MVFR1[31:0].

In an implementation where at least one Exception level supports execution in AArch32 state, but there is no support for Advanced SIMD and floating-point operation, this register is RAZ.

Attributes

MVFR1_EL1 is a 64-bit register.
