# ICV_NMIAR1_EL1, Interrupt Controller Virtual Non-maskable Interrupt Acknowledge Register 1

The ICV_NMIAR1_EL1 characteristics are:

## Purpose

The PE reads this register to obtain the INTID of the signaled virtual Group 1 interrupt. This read acts as an acknowledge for the interrupt.

## Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_GICv3_NMI is implemented and EL2 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to ICV_NMIAR1_EL1 are UNDEFINED.

To allow software to ensure appropriate observability of actions initiated by GIC register accesses, the PE and CPU interface logic must ensure that reads of this register are self-synchronising when interrupts are masked by the PE (that is when PSTATE.{I,F} == {0,0}). This ensures that the effect of activating an interrupt on the signaling of interrupt exceptions is observed when a read of this register is architecturally executed so that no spurious interrupt exception occurs if interrupts are unmasked by an instruction immediately following the read. For more information, see 'Observability of the effects of accesses to the GIC registers' in ARM® Generic Interrupt Controller Architecture Specification, GIC architecture version 3.0 and version 4.0 (ARM IHI 0069).

## Attributes

ICV_NMIAR1_EL1 is a 64-bit register.

#### Bits [63:24]

Reserved, RES0.

#### INTID, bits [23:0]

The INTID of the signaled virtual interrupt.

This is the INTID of the highest priority pending virtual interrupt, if that virtual interrupt has the Non-maskable property and is of sufficient priority for it to be signaled to the PE, and if it can be acknowledged at the current Security state and Exception level.

If the highest priority pending interrupt is not observable, this field contains a special INTID to indicate the reason. For more information, see 'Special INTIDs' in ARM® Generic Interrupt Controller Architecture Specification, GIC architecture version 3.0 and version 4.0 (ARM IHI 0069).

This field has either 16 or 24 bits implemented. The number of implemented bits can be found in ICV_CTLR_EL1.IDbits. If only 16 bits are implemented, bits [23:16] of this register are RES0.

## Accessing ICV_NMIAR1_EL1

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