Control and Status Registers

CV32E41P does not implement all control and status registers specified in the RISC-V privileged specifications, but is limited to the registers that were needed for the PULP system. The reason for this is that we wanted to keep the footprint of the core as low as possible and avoid any overhead that we do not explicitly need.

CSR Map

Table 8 lists all implemented CSRs. To columns in Table 8 may require additional explanation:

The Parameter column identifies those CSRs that are dependent on the value of specific compile/synthesis parameters. If these parameters are not set as indicated in Table 8 then the associated CSR is not implemented. If the parameter column is empty then the associated CSR is always implemented.

The Privilege column indicates the access mode of a CSR. The first letter indicates the lowest privilege level required to access the CSR. Attempts to access a CSR with a higher privilege level than the core is currently running in will throw an illegal instruction exception. This is largely a moot point for the CV32E41P as it only supports machine and debug modes. The remaining letters indicate the read and/or write behavior of the CSR when accessed by the indicated or higher privilge level:

  • RW: CSR is read-write. That is, CSR instructions (e.g. csrrw) may write any value and that value will be returned on a subsequent read (unless a side-effect causes the core to change the CSR value).

  • RO: CSR is read-only. Writes by CSR instructions raise an illegal instruction exception.

Writes of a non-supported value to WLRL bitfields of a RW CSR do not result in an illegal instruction exception. The exact bitfield access types, e.g. WLRL or WARL, can be found in the RISC-V privileged specification.

Reads or writes to a CSR that is not implemented will result in an illegal instruction exception.

CSR Descriptions

What follows is a detailed definition of each of the CSRs listed above. The Mode column defines the access mode behavior of each bit field when accessed by the privilege level specified in Table 8 (or a higher privilege level):

  • RO: read-only fields are not affect by CSR write instructions. Such fields either return a fixed value, or a value determined by the operation of the core.

  • RW: read/write fields store the value written by CSR writes. Subsequent reads return either the previously written value or a value determined by the operation of the core.

CV32E41P only implements one type of trigger, Match Control. Most fields of this register will read as a fixed value to reflect the single mode that is supported, in particular, instruction address match as described in the Debug Specification 0.13.2 section 5.2.2 & 5.2.9. The type, dmode, hit, select, timing, sizelo, action, chain, match, m, s, u, store and load bitfields of this CSR, which are marked as R/W in Debug Specification 0.13.2, are therefore implemented as WARL bitfields (corresponding to how these bitfields will be specified in the forthcoming Debug Specification 0.14.0).
