GICD_TYPER2, Interrupt Controller Type Register 2

The GICD_TYPER2 characteristics are:

Purpose

Provides information about which features the GIC implementation supports.

Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_GICv4p1 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to GICD_TYPER2 are RES0.

When GICD_CTLR.DS == 0, this register is Common.

Attributes

GICD_TYPER2 is a 32-bit register.

RES0nASSGIcapVILRES0VID

Bits [31:9]

Reserved, RES0.

nASSGIcap, bit [8]

Indicates whether SGIs can be configured to not have an active state.

nASSGIcapMeaning
0b0

SGIs have an active state.

0b1

SGIs can be globally configured not to have an active state.

This bit is RES0 on implementations that support two Security states.

VIL, bit [7]

Indicates whether 16 bits of vPEID are implemented.

VILMeaning
0b0

GIC supports 16-bit vPEID.

0b1

GIC supports GICD_TYPER2.VID + 1 bits of vPEID.

Bits [6:5]

Reserved, RES0.

VID, bits [4:0]

When GICD_TYPER2.VIL == 1, the number of bits is equal to the bits of vPEID minus one.

When GICD_TYPER2.VIL == 0, this field is RES0.

Accessing GICD_TYPER2

GICD_TYPER2 can be accessed through the memory-mapped interfaces:
