MVFR2_EL1

MVFR2_EL1, AArch32 Media and VFP Feature Register 2

The MVFR2_EL1 characteristics are:

Purpose

Describes the features provided by the AArch32 Advanced SIMD and floating-point implementation.

Must be interpreted with MVFR0_EL1 and MVFR1_EL1.

For general information about the interpretation of the ID registers, see 'Principles of the ID scheme for fields in ID registers'.

Configuration

AArch64 System register MVFR2_EL1 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register MVFR2[31:0].

This register is present only when FEAT_AA64 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to MVFR2_EL1 are UNDEFINED.

In an implementation where at least one Exception level supports execution in AArch32 state, but there is no support for Advanced SIMD and floating-point operation, this register is RAZ.

Attributes

MVFR2_EL1 is a 64-bit register.

Field descriptions
