GICC_APR<n>, CPU Interface Active Priorities Registers, n = 0 - 3

The GICC_APR<n> characteristics are:

Purpose

Provides information about interrupt active priorities.

Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_GICv3_LEGACY is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to GICC_APR<n> are RES0.

The contents of these registers are IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED with the one architectural requirement that the value 0x00000000 is consistent with no interrupts being active.

When GICD_CTLR.DS == 0, these registers are Banked, and Non-secure accesses do not affect Secure operation. The Secure copies of these registers hold active priorities for Group 0 interrupts, and the Non-secure copies provide a Non-secure view of the active priorities for Group 1 interrupts.

GICC_APR1 is implemented only in implementations that support 6 or more bits of priority. GICC_APR2 and GICC_APR3 are implemented only in implementations that support 7 bits of priority.

When GICD_CTLR.DS==1, these registers hold the active priorities for Group 0 interrupts, and the active priorities for Group 1 interrupts are held by the GICC_NSAPR<n> registers.

Attributes

GICC_APR<n> is a 32-bit register.

The reset behavior of this field is:

On a Warm reset, this field resets to 0.

Accessing GICC_APR<n>

These registers are used only when System register access is not enabled. When System register access is enabled the following registers provide equivalent functionality:

In AArch64:
- For Group 0, ICC_AP0R<n>_EL1.
- For Group 1, ICC_AP1R<n>_EL1.
In AArch32:
- For Group 0, ICC_AP0R<n>.
- For Group 1, ICC_AP1R<n>.

GICC_APR<n> can be accessed through the memory-mapped interfaces:

Component	Offset	Instance
GIC CPU interface	0x00D0 + (4 * n)	GICC_APR<n>

This interface is accessible as follows:

When GICD_CTLR.DS == 0, accesses to this register are RW.
When an access is Secure, accesses to this register are RW.
When an access is Non-secure, accesses to this register are RW.
