Bits Name Description
[31:29] - Reserved, returns 0b00000
[28:27] - Reserved, RES0
[26] POS Point of serialization. When an interrupt is sent remotely and POS is set, it ensures that writes to GICD_SETSPI and
GICD_CLRSPI propagate to remote chips before ACE-Lite sends a response. Applies only to edge-triggered interrupts.
0 Store locally and propagate when possible
1 Propagate access to POS
Resets to 0b0.
[25] QDENY Q-Channel deny. Overrides the Q-Channel logic and forces the Distributor to reject powerdown requests.
[24:22] - Reserved, RES0
[21] DCC Do not correct cache. Modifies the a<x>cache output signals from the Distributor. See 4.11 Memory access and
attributes on page 64.
[20:19] - Reserved, RES0
[18] - Reserved
[17:16] NSACR Non-secure access control. Values are as described in the GICD_NSACR register. This is the value that is used if an SPI
has an error.
Secure access only.
Resets to 0b00.
[15:14] - Reserved, returns 0b00
