Figure 4-35 MPU Region Size and Enable Registers format
Table 4-32 shows how the bit values correspond with the MPU Region Size and Enable
Registers.
To access an MPU Region Size and Enable Register, read or write CP15 with:
MRC p15, 0, <Rd>, c6, c1, 2 ; Read Data MPU Region Size and Enable Register
MCR p15, 0, <Rd>, c6, c1, 2 ; Write Data MPU Region Size and Enable Register
Writing a region size that is outside the range results in Unpredictable behavior.
c6, MPU Region Access Control Registers
The MPU Region Access Control Registers hold the region attributes and access permissions
for the region specified by the Memory Region Number Register.

Bits Field Function
[31:16] Reserved SBZ.
[15:8] Sub-region disable
Each bit position represents a sub-region, 0-7
a
.
Bit [8] corresponds to sub-region 0
...
Bit [15] corresponds to sub-region 7
The meaning of each bit is:
0 = address range is part of this region
1 = address range is not part of this region.
Reserved SBZ.
[5:1] Region size Defines the region size:

[0] Enable Enables or disables a memory region:
0 = Memory region disabled. Memory regions are disabled on reset.
1 = Memory region enabled. A memory region must be enabled before it is used.
a. Sub-region 0 covers the least significant addresses in the region, while sub-region 7 covers the most significant
addresses in the region. For more information, see Subregions on page 7-3.
