RMR_EL1, Reset Management Register (EL1)

The RMR_EL1 characteristics are:

Purpose

When this register is implemented:

A write to the register at EL1 can request a Warm reset.
If EL1 can use all Execution states, this register specifies the Execution state that the PE boots into on a Warm reset.

Configuration

AArch64 System register RMR_EL1 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register RMR[31:0] when the highest implemented Exception level is EL1.

This register is present only when the highest implemented Exception level is EL1. Otherwise, direct accesses to RMR_EL1 are UNDEFINED.

When EL1 is the highest implemented Exception level:

If EL1 can use all Execution states then this register must be implemented.
If EL1 cannot use AArch32 then it is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether the register is implemented.

Attributes

RMR_EL1 is a 64-bit register.

Bits [63:2]

Reserved, RES0.

RR, bit [1]

Reset Request. Setting this bit to 1 requests a Warm reset.

The reset behavior of this field is:

On a Warm reset, this field resets to 0.

AA64, bit [0]
When EL1 is capable of using AArch32:

When EL1 can use AArch32, determines which Execution state the PE boots into after a Warm reset:

AA64	Meaning
0b0	AArch32.
0b1	AArch64.

On coming out of the Warm reset, execution starts at the IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED reset vector address of the specified Execution state.

If EL1 can only use AArch64 state, this bit is RAO/WI.

When implemented as a RW field, this field resets to 1 on a Cold reset.

Otherwise:

Reserved, RAO/WI.

Accessing RMR_EL1

Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:

MRS <Xt>, RMR_EL1

op0	op1	CRn	CRm	op2
0b11	0b000	0b1100	0b0000	0b010

if PSTATE.EL == EL1 && IsHighestEL(EL1) then X[t, 64] = RMR_EL1; else UNDEFINED;

MSR RMR_EL1, <Xt>

op0	op1	CRn	CRm	op2
0b11	0b000	0b1100	0b0000	0b010

if PSTATE.EL == EL1 && IsHighestEL(EL1) then RMR_EL1 = X[t, 64]; else UNDEFINED;
