To access the nVAL Debug Request Enable Clear Register, read or write CP15 with:
MRC p15, 0, <Rd>, c15, c1, 7 ; Read nVAL Debug Request Enable Clear Register
MCR p15, 0, <Rd>, c15, c1, 7 ; Write nVAL Debug Request Enable Clear Register
On reads, this register returns the current setting. On writes, overflow debug requests that are
currently enabled can be disabled.
For more information of how to enable debug requests on counter overflows, and how the
requests are signaled, see c15, nVAL Debug Request Enable Set Register on page 4-64.
c15, nVAL Cache Size Override Register
The nVAL Cache Size Override Register overwrites the caches size fields in the main register.
This enables you to choose a smaller instruction and data cache size than is implemented.
The nVAL Cache Size Override Register is:
• a write-only register
• only accessible in Privileged mode.
Figure 4-52 shows the bit arrangement for the nVAL Cache Size Override Register.
Figure 4-52 nVAL Cache Size Override Register format
Table 4-50 shows how the bit values correspond with the nVAL Cache Size Override Register.
Table 4-51 shows the encodings for the nVAL instruction and data cache sizes.
To access the nVAL Cache Size Override Register, write CP15 with:
MCR p15, 0, <Rd>, c15, c14, 0 ; nVAL Cache Size Override Register
