The MPU Region Access Control Registers are:
• read/write registers
• accessible in Privileged mode only.
Figure 4-36 shows the arrangement of bits in the register.
Figure 4-36 MPU Region Access Control Register format
Table 4-33 shows how the bit values correspond with the Region Access Control Register
functions.
Table 4-34 shows the AP bit values that determine the permissions for Privileged and User data
access.

Bits Field Function
[31:13] Reserved SBZ.
[12] XN Execute never. Determines if a region of memory is executable:
0 = all instruction fetches enabled
1 = no instruction fetches enabled.
[11] - Reserved.
[10:8] AP Access permission. Defines the data access permissions. For more information on AP bit values
see, Table 4-34.
[7:6] Reserved SBZ.
[5:3] TEX
Type extension. Defines the type extension attribute
a
.
[2] S Share. Determines if the memory region is Shared or Non-shared:
0 = Non-shared.
1 = Shared.
This bit only applies to Normal, not Device or Strongly Ordered memory.
