This is a collection of Intel®’ IA32® Software Developer's Manuals (URL of the day) and AMD' AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual together with the related specifications, application notes, white papers, and change logs. The collection aims to keep all available revisions. It was originally created by Michal Necasek, see OS/2 Museum.

AMPIDR3

AMPIDR3, Activity Monitors Peripheral Identification Register 3

The AMPIDR3 characteristics are:

Purpose

Provides information to identify an activity monitors component.

For more information, see 'About the Peripheral identification scheme'.

Configuration

It is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether AMPIDR3 is implemented in the Core power domain or in the Debug power domain.

This register is present only when FEAT_AMUv1 is implemented, an implementation implements AMPIDR3, and FEAT_AMU_EXT is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to AMPIDR3 are RES0.

Attributes

AMPIDR3 is a 32-bit register.

This register is part of the AMU block.

Bits [31:8]

Reserved, RES0.

REVAND, bits [7:4]

Indicates either the revision of the component, or whether the component has been modified.

Where the component has a single 4-bit revision number, the revision number is an incremental value starting at zero for the first revision of the component.

Where the component has separate major and minor revision numbers, the major and minor revision numbers are each incremental values starting at zero for the first revision of the component. For each minor revision of the component, the minor revision number increments monotonically. For each major revision of the component, the major revision number increments monotonically and the minor revision begins again at zero.

For a component with a 12-bit part number with a single 4-bit revision number:

For a component with a 12-bit part number with separate major and minor revision numbers:

For a component with a 16-bit part number:

The choice of which style of revision information is used is specific to the designer of the component, and might also be specific to each individual component with a different part number.

Where REVAND indicates component modifications, this indicates modifications such as errata fixes or metal fixes after implementation. Usually this value would be zero unless a modification has been performed. If the field is required for indicating component modifications, Arm recommends that component designers ensure that it can be changed by a metal fix, for example by driving it from registers that reset to zero.

AMPIDR3.CMOD might also indicate component modifications.

This field has an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED value.

Access to this field is RO.

CMOD, bits [3:0]

Indicates whether the component has been modified from its original behavior. Examples of modifications include errata fixes or metal fixes after implementation. Usually this value would be zero unless a modification has been performed. If the field is required for indicating component modifications, Arm recommends that component designers ensure that it can be changed by a metal fix, for example by driving it from registers that reset to zero.

A value of 0b0000 means the component is not modified from the original design.

Any other value means the component has been modified in an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED way.

For any two components with the same Unique Component Identifier:

AMPIDR3.REVAND might also indicate component modifications.

This field has an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED value.

Access to this field is RO.
