MRC p15, 0, <Rd>, c0, c0, 4 ; Returns MPU details
4.2.6 c0, Multiprocessor ID Register
The Multiprocessor ID Register enables cores to be recognized and characterized within a
multiprocessor system.
The Multiprocessor ID Register is:
read-only register
accessible in Privileged mode only.
Figure 4-11 shows the arrangement of bits in the register.
Figure 4-11 Multiprocessor ID Register format
Because this is a uniprocessor system, this register is Read-As-Zero.
To access the Multiprocessor ID Register, read CP15 with:
MRC p15, 0, <Rd>, c0, c0, 5 ; Returns Multiprocessor ID details
4.2.7 The Processor Feature Registers
There are two Processor Feature Registers, PFR0 and PFR1. This section describes:
c0, Processor Feature Register 0, PFR0
c0, Processor Feature Register 1, PFR1 on page4-19.
c0, Processor Feature Register 0, PFR0
The Processor Feature Register 0 provides information about the execution state support and
programmer’s model for the processor.
Processor Feature Register 0 is:
a read-only register
accessible in Privileged mode only.
Figure 4-12 shows the bit arrangement for Processor Feature Register 0.
