To access the MPU Region Access Control Registers read or write CP15 with:
MRC p15, 0, <Rd>, c6, c1, 4 ; Read Region access control Register
MCR p15, 0, <Rd>, c6, c1, 4 ; Write Region access control Register
To execute instructions in User and Privileged modes:
• the region must have read access as defined by the AP bits
• the XN bit must be set to 0.
c6, MPU Memory Region Number Register
The MPU Region Registers are multiple registers with one register for each memory region
implemented. The value contained in the MPU Memory Region Number Register determines
which of the multiple registers is accessed.
The MPU Memory Region Number Registers are:
• read/write register
• accessible in Privileged mode only.
Figure 4-37 shows the arrangement of bits in the register.
Figure 4-37 MPU Memory Region Number Register format
Table 4-35 shows how the bit values correspond with the MPU Memory Region Number
Register bits.
To access the MPU Memory Region Number Register, read or write CP15 with:
MRC p15, 0, <Rd>, c6, c2, 0 ; Read MPU Memory Region Number Register
MCR p15, 0, <Rd>, c6, c2, 0 ; Write MPU Memory Region Number Register
Writing this register with a value greater than or equal to the number of regions from the MPU
Type Register is Unpredictable. Associated register bank accesses are also Unpredictable.
