PERIPHBASE[31:18], [31:18]
If the processor is implemented with the GIC CPU interface, the input PERIPHBASE[31:18]
determines the reset value. If the GIC CPU interface is not implemented, this field is RAZ.
[17:8]
Reserved, RES0.
PERIPHBASE[39:32], [7:0]
If the processor is implemented with the GIC CPU interface, the input PERIPHBASE[39:32]
determines the reset value. If the GIC CPU interface is not implemented, this field is RAZ.
To access the CBAR:
MRC p15, 1, <Rt>, c15, c3, 0; Read CBAR into Rt
Register access is encoded as follows:
