To access the Current Cache Size Identification Register read CP15 with:
MRC p15, 1, <Rd>, c0, c0, 0 ; Read Current Cache Size Identification Register
4.2.13 c0, Current Cache Level ID Register
The Current Cache Level ID Register indicates the cache levels that are implemented.
Architecturally, there can be a different number of cache levels on the instruction and data side.
The register also captures the point-of-coherency and the point-of-unification.
The Current Cache Level ID Register is:
• a read-only register
• accessible in Privileged mode only.
Figure 4-25 shows the bit arrangement for the Current Cache Level ID Register.
Figure 4-25 Current Cache Level ID Register format
Table 4-21 shows how the bit values correspond with the Current Cache Level ID Register.
To access the Current Cache Level ID Register, read CP15 with:
