4.2 Register summary
This section gives a summary of the CP15 system control registers. For more information on
using the CP15 system control registers, see the ARM Architecture Reference Manual.
The system control coprocessor is a set of registers that you can write to and read from. Some
of these registers support more than one type of operation.
This section describes the CP15 system control registers grouped by CRn order, and accessed
by the
MCR
and
MRC
instructions in the order of CRn, Op1, CRm, Op2:
• c0 registers on page 4-5
• c1 registers on page 4-6
• c2 registers on page 4-6
• c3 registers on page 4-6
• c4 registers on page 4-7
• c5 registers on page 4-7
• c6 registers on page 4-7
• c7 registers on page 4-8
• c8 registers on page 4-9
• c9 registers on page 4-9
• c10 registers on page 4-10
• c11 registers on page 4-10
• c12 registers on page 4-10
• c13 registers on page 4-11
• c14 registers on page 4-11
• c15 registers on page 4-11.
All system control coprocessor registers are 32 bits wide, except for the Program New Channel
operation described in PLE Program New Channel operation on page 9-5. Reserved registers
are RAZ/WI.
