A data processing apparatus for accessing several system registers using a single command includes system registers and command generation circuitry capable of analysing a plurality of decoded system register access instructions, each specifying a system register identifier.

The predetermined condition comprises a requirement that a total width of the system registers specified by the plurality of decoded system register access instructions is less than or equal to a predefined data processing width.
