Intel® PXA255 Processor Developer’s Manual 2-3
System Architecture
2.2.2 Coprocessor 14 Registers 0-3 - Performance Monitoring
The processor does not define any performance monitoring features beyond those called out in the
Intel® XScale™ Microarchitecture for the Intel® PXA255 Processor User’s Manual, order number
278793. The interrupt generated by performance monitoring events is defined in Chapter 4,
“System Integration Unit”. The ASSP defined performance monitoring events (events 0x10 -
0x17), defined through the PMNC register are reserved for the processor.
2.2.3 Coprocessor 14 Register 6 and 7- Clock and Power
Management
These registers allow software to use the clocking and power management modes. The valid
operations are described in Table 3-23, “Coprocessor 14 Clock and Power Management Summary”
on page 3-39.
2.2.4 Coprocessor 15 Register 0 - ID Register Definition
This register may be read by software to determine the device type and revision. The contents of
this register for the Intel® PXA255 Processor is defined in the table below. Combined, this register
must read as 0x6905 2X0R where R = 0b0000 for the first stepping and then increments for
subsequent steppings, and X is the revision of the Intel® XScale™ microarchitecture present.
Please see the Intel Developer Homepage at http://developer.intel.com for updates.
This is a read-only register.

0 = nVDD_FAULT or nBATT_FAULT pin has not been asserted since it was
last cleared by a reset or the CPU.
