AMDEVAFF

Copy of the PE MPIDR_EL1 register that allows a debugger to determine which PE in a multiprocessor system the AMU component relates to.

Configuration

It is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether AMDEVAFF is implemented in the Core power domain or in the Debug power domain.

This register is present only when FEAT_AMUv1 is implemented, FEAT_AMU_EXT64 is implemented, and an implementation implements AMDEVAFF1. Otherwise, direct accesses to AMDEVAFF are RES0.

Attributes

Field descriptions

Bits [63:40]

Aff3, bits [39:32]

Affinity level 3. See the description of Aff0 for more information.

This field has an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED value.

Access to this field is RO.

Bit [31]

U, bit [30]

Indicates a Uniprocessor system, as distinct from PE 0 in a multiprocessor system.

The value of this field is an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED choice of:

U	Meaning
0b0	Processor is part of a multiprocessor system.
0b1	Processor is part of a uniprocessor system.

Access to this field is RO.

Bits [29:25]

MT, bit [24]

Indicates whether the lowest level of affinity consists of logical PEs that are implemented using an interdependent approach, such as multithreading. See the description of Aff0 for more information about affinity levels.

The value of this field is an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED choice of:

MT	Meaning
0b0	Performance of PEs with different affinity level 0 values, and the same values for affinity level 1 and higher, is largely independent.
0b1	Performance of PEs with different affinity level 0 values, and the same values for affinity level 1 and higher, is very interdependent.

Note

This field does not indicate that multithreading is implemented and does not indicate that PEs with different affinity level 0 values, and the same values for affinity level 1 and higher are implemented.

Access to this field is RO.

Aff2, bits [23:16]

Affinity level 2. See the description of Aff0 for more information.

This field has an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED value.

Access to this field is RO.

Aff1, bits [15:8]

Affinity level 1. See the description of Aff0 for more information.

This field has an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED value.

Access to this field is RO.

Aff0, bits [7:0]

Affinity level 0. The value of the MPIDR.{Aff2, Aff1, Aff0} or MPIDR_EL1.{Aff3, Aff2, Aff1, Aff0} set of fields of each PE must be unique within the system as a whole.

This field has an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED value.

Access to this field is RO.

Accessing AMDEVAFF

Accesses to this register use the following encodings:

Accessible at offset 0xFA8 from AMU

When boolean IMPLEMENTATION_DEFINED "AMU CoreSight management registers ignore access controls", accesses to this register are RO.
When FEAT_RME is implemented, FEAT_AMU_EXTACR is implemented, an access is Secure, and AMROOTCR.RA IN {0b01, 0b00}, accesses to this register are RAZ/WI.
When FEAT_RME is implemented, FEAT_AMU_EXTACR is implemented, an access is Realm, and AMROOTCR.RA IN {0b10, 0b00}, accesses to this register are RAZ/WI.
When FEAT_RME is implemented, FEAT_AMU_EXTACR is implemented, an access is Non-secure, and AMROOTCR.RA != 0b11, accesses to this register are RAZ/WI.
When FEAT_RME is not implemented, FEAT_AMU_EXTACR is implemented, an access is Non-secure, and AMSCR.NSRA == 0, accesses to this register are RAZ/WI.
Otherwise, accesses to this register are RO.
