AArch64 System Register Type Definitions

English | 中文

Introduction

A library providing type definitions for AArch64 system registers, including operation types, register types, and system register enumerations for the ARM64 architecture. Supports #![no_std] for bare-metal and OS kernel development.

This library exports three core enumeration types:

• OperationType — AArch64 instruction operation types (1000+ instructions)
• RegistersType — General-purpose and vector registers (W/X/V/B/H/S/D/Q/Z/P, etc.)
• SystemRegType — System registers (debug, trace, performance counters, system control, etc.)

Each type implements Display, From<usize>, LowerHex, and UpperHex traits.

Quick Start

Requirements

• Rust nightly toolchain
• Rust components: rust-src, clippy, rustfmt

# Install rustup (if not installed)
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

# Install nightly toolchain and components
rustup install nightly
rustup component add rust-src clippy rustfmt --toolchain nightly

Run Check and Test

# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/arceos-org/aarch64_sysreg.git
cd aarch64_sysreg

# 2. Code check (format + clippy + build + doc generation)
./scripts/check.sh

# 3. Run tests
# Run all tests (unit tests + integration tests)
./scripts/test.sh

# Run unit tests only
./scripts/test.sh unit

# Run integration tests only
./scripts/test.sh integration

# List all available test suites
./scripts/test.sh list

# Specify unit test target
./scripts/test.sh unit --unit-targets x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

Integration

Installation

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
aarch64_sysreg = "0.1.1"

Example

use aarch64_sysreg::{OperationType, RegistersType, SystemRegType};

fn main() {
    // Operation type: enum variant and value conversion
    let op = OperationType::ADD;
    println!("{}", op);                      // ADD
    println!("0x{:x}", op);                  // 0x6
    println!("0x{:X}", op);                  // 0x6

    let op_from = OperationType::from(0x6);
    assert_eq!(op_from, OperationType::ADD);

    // Register type
    let reg = RegistersType::X0;
    println!("{}", reg);                     // X0
    let reg_from = RegistersType::from(0x22);
    assert_eq!(reg_from, RegistersType::X0);

    // System register
    let sys_reg = SystemRegType::MDSCR_EL1;
    println!("{}", sys_reg);                 // MDSCR_EL1
    println!("0x{:x}", sys_reg);             // 0x240004
}
