VALUE

RO

The complete MXLEN-bit implementation ID; its format is left to the provider of the architecture source code.

VALUE (bits XLEN-1:0) — The complete MXLEN-bit implementation ID; its format is left to the provider of the architecture source code.

What This Field Controls

  • - The complete MXLEN-bit implementation ID; its format is left to the provider of the architecture source code.

Common Values

This field is better understood together with surrounding context than as a fixed memorized enumeration.

Official Basis & Search Notes

mimpid (0xF13) is an MXLEN-bit read-only Machine CSR providing a unique encoding of the processor implementation version.

A value of zero can indicate the field is not implemented; the value reflects the RISC-V processor design itself, not the surrounding system.

What To Check First When Reading This CSR

  • - This CSR must be readable in any implementation; its CSR address encoding requires Machine-mode access.

Risk Checks Before Writing

  • - This is a read-only CSR; do not write it.
