Auxiliary Memory Attribute Indirection Register 1
When using the Long-descriptor format translation tables for stage 1 translations, provides IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED memory attributes for the memory regions specified by MAIR1.
This register is banked between AMAIR1 and AMAIR1_S and AMAIR1_NS.
AArch32 System register AMAIR1 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register AMAIR_EL1[63:32].
This register is present only when FEAT_AA32EL1 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to AMAIR1 are UNDEFINED.
When EL3 is using AArch32, write access to AMAIR1(S) is disabled when the CP15SDISABLE signal is asserted HIGH.
AMAIR1 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 |
| IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This register is RES0 in the following cases:
If EL3 is implemented and is using AArch32:
Any IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED memory attributes are additional qualifiers for the memory locations and must not change the architected behavior specified by MAIR0 and MAIR1.
In a typical implementation, AMAIR0 and AMAIR1 split into eight one-byte fields, corresponding to the MAIRn.Attr<n> fields, but the architecture does not require them to do so.
IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED.
The reset behavior of this field is:
Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:
