ICC_DIR, Interrupt Controller Deactivate Interrupt Register

The ICC_DIR characteristics are:

Purpose

When interrupt priority drop is separated from interrupt deactivation, a write to this register deactivates the specified interrupt.

Configuration

AArch32 System register ICC_DIR bits [31:0] performs the same function as AArch64 System register ICC_DIR_EL1[31:0].

This register is present only when FEAT_AA32EL1 is implemented and GICv3 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to ICC_DIR are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

ICC_DIR is a 32-bit register.

RES0INTID

Bits [31:24]

Reserved, RES0.

INTID, bits [23:0]

The INTID of the interrupt to be deactivated.

This field has either 16 or 24 bits implemented. The number of implemented bits can be found in ICC_CTLR.IDbits and ICC_MCTLR.IDbits. If only 16 bits are implemented, bits [23:16] of this register are RES0.

Accessing ICC_DIR

There are two cases when writing to ICC_DIR_EL1 that were UNPREDICTABLE for a corresponding GICv2 write to GICC_DIR:

Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:

MCR{<c>}{<q>} <coproc>, {#}<opc1>, <Rt>, <CRn>, <CRm>{, {#}<opc2>}
