MRS (system coprocessor register to ARM register)

MRS (system coprocessor register to ARM register)

Move to ARM register from system coprocessor register.

Show/hideSyntax

MRS{cond} Rn, coproc_register
MRS{cond} APSR_nzcv, special_register

where:

cond

is an optional condition code.

coproc_register

is the name of the coprocessor register.

special_register

is the name of the coprocessor register that can be written to APSR_nzcv. This is only possible for the coprocessor register DBGDSCRint.

Rn

is the ARM destination register. Rn must not be PC.

Show/hideUsage

You can use this instruction to read CP14 or CP15 coprocessor registers, with the exception of write-only registers. A complete list of the applicable coprocessor register names is in the ARMv7-AR Architecture Reference Manual. For example:

    MRS R1, SCTLR ; writes the contents of the CP15 coprocessor register SCTLR
                  ; into R1

Show/hideArchitectures

This MRS ARM instruction is available in ARMv7-A and ARMv7-R.

This MRS 32-bit Thumb instruction is available in ARMv7-A and ARMv7-R.

There are no 16-bit Thumb versions of these instructions.
