CNTHPS_CVAL_EL2, Counter-timer Secure Physical Timer CompareValue register (EL2)

The CNTHPS_CVAL_EL2 characteristics are:

Purpose

Holds the compare value for the Secure EL2 physical timer.

Configuration

AArch64 System register CNTHPS_CVAL_EL2 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register CNTHPS_CVAL[31:0] .

This register is present only when ARMv8.4-SecEL2 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to CNTHPS_CVAL_EL2 are UNDEFINED.

RW fields in this register reset to architecturally UNKNOWN values.

Attributes

CNTHPS_CVAL_EL2 is a 64-bit register.

Field descriptions

The CNTHPS_CVAL_EL2 bit assignments are:

6362616059585756555453525150494847464544434241403938373635343332

CompareValue, bits [63:0]

Holds the EL2 physical timer CompareValue.

When CNTHPS_CTL_EL2.ENABLE is 1, the timer condition is met when (CNTPCT_EL0 - CompareValue) is greater than or equal to zero. This means that CompareValue acts like a 64-bit upcounter timer. When the timer condition is met:

When CNTHPS_CTL_EL2.ENABLE is 0, the timer condition is not met, but CNTPCT_EL0 continues to count.

This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.
