NEON and VFP Unit31 30 29 0ReservedENEXTable 14-8 shows the FPEXC Register bit assignments.Bits Name FunctionFigure 14-5 FPEXC bit assignmentsTable 14-8 FPEXC bit assignments[31] EX Exception bit. The <strong>Cortex</strong>-<strong>A15</strong> implementation does not generate asynchronous VFP exceptions,therefore this bit is RAZ/WI.[30] EN Enable bit. A global enable for the Advanced SIMD and VFP extensions:0 The Advanced SIMD and VFP extensions are disabled.1 The Advanced SIMD and VFP extensions are enabled and operate normally.The EN bit is cleared at reset.[29:26] - Reserved, RAZ/WI.[25:0] - Reserved, UNK/SBZP.NoteThe <strong>Cortex</strong>-<strong>A15</strong> <strong>MPCore</strong> processor implementation does not support deprecated VFP shortvector feature. Attempts to execute VFP data-processing instructions, except VFP Compare andVFP Convert instructions, when the FPSCR.LEN field is non-zero result in an UndefinedInstruction exception. You can use software to emulate the short vector feature, if required.<strong>ARM</strong> DDI 0438I Copyright © 2011-2013 <strong>ARM</strong>. All rights reserved. 14-13ID062913Non-Confidential
