3.2.2c0, Main ID Register
The purpose of the Main ID Register is to return the device ID code that contains information about the processor.
The Main ID Register is:
•in CP15 c0
•a 32 bit read-only register common to the Secure and Non-secure worlds
•accessible in privileged modes only.
Figure 3-10 shows the arrangement of bits in the register.

Note
If an Opcode_2 value corresponding to an unimplemented or reserved ID register with CRm equal to c0 and Opcode_1 = 0 is encountered, the system control coprocessor returns the value of the main ID register.

To use the Main ID Register read CP15 with:
•Opcode_1 set to 0
•CRn set to c0
•CRm set to c0
•Opcode_2 set to 0.
For example:
MRC p15,0,<Rd>,c0,c0,0 ;Read Main ID Register
For more information on the processor features, see c0, CPUID registers on page 3-26.
3.2.3c0, Cache Type Register
The purpose of the Cache Type Register is to provide information about the size and architecture of the cache for the operating system. This enables the operating system to establish how to clean the cache and how to lock it down. Inclusion of this register enables RTOS vendors to produce future-proof versions of their operating systems.

System Control Coprocessor
The Cache Type Register is:
•in CP15 c0
•a 32-bit read only register, common to Secure and Non-secure worlds
•accessible in privileged modes only.
All ARMv4T and later cached processors contain this register. Figure 3-11 shows the arrangement of bits in the Cache Type Register.

Ctype |
The Cache type and Separate bits provide information about the cache architecture. |
||
|
|
|
b1110, indicates that the ARM1176JZF-S processor supports: |
|
|
|
|
• |
write back cache |
|
|
|
• |
Format C cache lockdown |
|
|
|
• |
Register 7 cache cleaning operations. |
|
|
|
|
|
[24] |
S bit |
S = 1, indicates that the processor has separate instruction and data caches and not a |
||
|
|
|
unified cache. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
[23:12] |
Dsize field |
Provides information about the size and construction of the Data cachea. |
||
[23] |
|
P bit |
The P, Page, bit indicates restrictions on page allocation for bits [13:12] of the VA |
|
|
|
|
For ARM1176JZF-S processors, the P bit is set if the cache size is greater than 16KB. |
|
|
|
|
For more details see Restrictions on page table mappings page coloring on page 6-41. |
|
|
|
|
0 = no restriction on page allocation. |
|
|
|
|
1 = restriction applies to page allocation. |

To use the Cache Type Register read CP15 with:
•Opcode_1 set to 0
•CRn set to c0
•CRm set to c0
•Opcode_2 set to 1.
For example:
MRC p15,0,<Rd>,c0,c0,1; returns cache details
Table 3-8 on page 3-24, for example, lists the Cache Type Register values for an ARM1176JZ-S processor with:
•separate instruction and data caches
•cache size = 16KB
•associativity = 4-way
•line length = eight words
