Status and
domain fields
This table shows the encodings used for the status field in the Fault Status register,
and indicates whether the domain field contains valid information. See “MMU faults
and CPU aborts” on page 119 for information about MMU aborts in Fault Address and
Fault Status registers.

R6: Fault Address register
Register R6 accesses the Fault Address register (FAR). The Fault Address register
contains the modified virtual address of the access attempted when a data abort
occurred. This register is updated only for data aborts, not for prefetch aborts; it is
updated also for alignment faults and external aborts that occur while the MMU is
disabled.
Writing R6 sets the Fault Address register to the value of the data written. This is
useful for debugging, to restore the value of a Fault Address register to a previous
state.
The
CRm and opcode_2 fields SHOULD BE ZERO when reading or writing R6.
