11.1 About the ARM720T test registers

Coprocessor 15 register c15 of the ARM720T processor is used to provide device-specific test
operations. You can use it to access and control the following:

Test State Register

on page 11-3

Cache test registers and operations

on page 11-3

MMU test registers and operations

on page 11-8.
You must only use these operations for test. The
ARM Architecture Reference Manual
describes this register as implementation defined.
The format of the CP15 test operations is:
MCR/MRC p15, opcode_1, <Rd>, c15, <CRm>, <opcode_2>
Figure 11-1 CP15 MRC and MCR bit pattern
The L bit distinguishes between an MCR (L set to 1) and an MRC (L set to 0).
