Cortex-M processors implement the CPUID register, through which it is possible to detect information about the core: part number (e.g. Cortex M7 or M4), revision and patch level (e.g. r1p2), etc.
Is there a register or a way to detect if the FPU has been implemented by the implementer? And how to detect the type of FPU (VFPv4, VFPv5-SP or VFPv5-DP)?
best regards

Please have a look at
0xE000EF40 Media and FP Feature Register 0(FPU->MVFR0)
0xE000EF44 Media and FP Feature Register 1(FPU->MVFR1)
They contains informationabout what FPU ins truction features are implemented. In latest architecture there is also a 3rd one
0xE000EF48 Media and FP Feature Register 2(FPU->MVFR2)
But the CMSIS-CORE header might not have this register define yet (I haven't check).
