# RMR, Reset Management Register

The RMR characteristics are:

## Purpose

If EL1 or EL3 is the highest implemented Exception level and this register is implemented:

- A write to the register at the highest implemented Exception level can request a Warm reset.
- If the highest implemented Exception level can use AArch32 and AArch64, this register specifies the Execution state that the PE boots into on a Warm reset.

## Configuration

AArch32 System register RMR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register RMR_EL1[31:0] when the highest implemented Exception level is EL1.

AArch32 System register RMR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register RMR_EL3[31:0] when EL3 is implemented.

This register is present only when EL1 is capable of using AArch32. Otherwise, direct accesses to RMR are UNDEFINED.

Only implemented if EL1 or EL3 is the highest implemented Exception level. In this case:

- If the highest implemented Exception level can use AArch32 and AArch64 then this register must be implemented.
- If the highest implemented Exception level cannot use AArch64 then it is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether the register is implemented.

## Attributes

RMR is a 32-bit register.

## Field descriptions

31 | 30 | 29 | 28 | 27 | 26 | 25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0
RES0 | RR | AA64

#### Bits [31:2]

Reserved, RES0.

#### RR, bit [1]

Reset Request. Setting this bit to 1 requests a Warm reset.

The reset behavior of this field is:

- On a Warm reset, this field resets to 0.

#### AA64, bit [0]

When the highest implemented Exception level can use AArch64, determines which Execution state the PE boots into after a Warm reset:

AA64 | Meaning
--- | ---
0b0 | AArch32.
0b1 | AArch64.

On coming out of the Warm reset, execution starts at the IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED reset vector address of the specified Execution state.

If the highest implemented Exception level cannot use AArch64 this bit is RAZ/WI.

When implemented as a RW field, this field resets to 0 on a Cold reset.

## Accessing RMR

When EL3 is implemented, Arm deprecates accessing this register from any PE mode other than Monitor mode.

Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:

#### MRC{<c>}{<q>} <coproc>, {#}<opc1>, <Rt>, <CRn>, <CRm>{, {#}<opc2>}

coproc | opc1 | CRn | CRm | opc2
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
0b1111 | 0b000 | 0b1100 | 0b0000 | 0b010

if PSTATE.EL IN {EL1, EL3} && IsHighestEL(PSTATE.EL) then R[t] = RMR; else UNDEFINED;

#### MCR{<c>}{<q>} <coproc>, {#}<opc1>, <Rt>, <CRn>, <CRm>{, {#}<opc2>}

coproc | opc1 | CRn | CRm | opc2
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
0b1111 | 0b000 | 0b1100 | 0b0000 | 0b010

if PSTATE.EL == EL0 then UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL1 then if IsHighestEL(EL1) then RMR = R[t]; else UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL2 then UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL3 then if CP15SDISABLE == Signal_High then UNDEFINED; elsif CP15SDISABLE2 == Signal_High then UNDEFINED; else RMR = R[t];
