R0: ID code and cache type status registers

The B bit is set to 0 at reset if the BIGENDINIT signal is low, and set to 1 if the

BIGENDINIT signal is high.

Writing to register R0 is UNPREDICTABLE.

R0: ID code

R0: ID code is a read-only register that returns the 32-bit device ID code. You can

 

access the ID code register by reading CP15 register R0 with the opcode_2 field set to

 

any value other than 1 or 2. Note this example:

 

 

MRC p15, 0, Rd, c0, c0, {0, 3-7}; returns ID

 

 

 

This is the contents of the ID code register.

R0: Cache type register

R0: Cache type is a read-only register that contains information about the size and architecture of the instruction cache (ICache) and data cache (DCache) enabling operating systems to establish how to perform operations such as cache cleaning and lockdown. See “Cache features” on page 127 for more information about cache.
