Table 3-29 lists the results of attempted access for each mode.
To use the Instruction Set Attributes Register 0 read CP15 with:
• Opcode_1 set to 0
• CRn set to c0
• CRm set to c2
• Opcode_2 set to 0.
For example:
MRC p15, 0, <Rd>, c0, c2, 0 ;Read Instruction Set Attributes Register 0
c0, Instruction Set Attributes Register 1
The purpose of the Instruction Set Attributes Register 1 is to provide information about the
instruction set that the processor supports beyond the basic set.
The Instruction Set Attributes Register 1 is:
•in CP15 c0
• a 32-bit read-only register common to the Secure and Non-secure worlds
• accessible in privileged modes only.
Figure 3-22 on page 3-38 shows the bit arrangement for Instruction Set Attributes Register 1.
