This repository contains an library to program aarch64 hardware. This
includes hardware specific data structure defintions, register layouts
and access methods to read/write registers exposed as high-level functions.

See LICENSE file.
For the generation of the register definitions and system instructions, you will need to get Python3 and wget
$ sudo apt-get install python3 python3-plumbum wget
You will need to have the aarch66 target installed.
rustup target add aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
The library can be built using cargo and supplying it with the aarch64 target:
cargo build --target=aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
The carte contains several modules:
Register definitions and access functions are generated from the XML files
https://developer.arm.com/products/architecture/a-profile/exploration-tools
Architecture specific instructions for cache invalidation etc
https://developer.arm.com/products/architecture/a-profile/exploration-tools
Currenlty, there are a few instructions / registers which are not supported due
to variable sized fields etc. See list in tools/config.json.
