CNTVOFF, Counter-timer Virtual Offset

The CNTVOFF characteristics are:

Purpose

Holds the 64-bit virtual offset for a CNTBaseN frame that has virtual timer capability. This is the offset between real time and virtual time.

Configuration

The power domain of CNTVOFF is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED.

On a reset of the reset domain in which an RW instance of this register is implemented, RW fields in the register reset to UNKNOWN values. The register is not affected by a reset of any other reset domain. For more information see 'Power and reset domains for the system level implementation of the Generic Timer' in Chapter I1 of the Arm® Architecture Reference Manual, Armv8, for Armv8-A architecture profile.

Attributes

CNTVOFF is a 64-bit register.

Field descriptions

The CNTVOFF bit assignments are:

Bits [63:0]

Virtual offset.

This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

Accessing the CNTVOFF

CNTVOFF is implemented, as a RO register, in any implemented CNTBaseN frame that has virtual timer capability.

'CNTCTLBase status and control fields for the CNTBaseN and CNTEL0BaseN frames' in Chapter I1 of the Arm® Architecture Reference Manual, Armv8, for Armv8-A architecture profile describes the status fields that identify whether a CNTBaseN frame is implemented, and for an implemented frame:

For an implemented CNTBaseN frame that has virtual timer capability:

Note

CNTVOFF is never visible in any CNTEL0BaseN frame. This means that the CNTVOFF address in any implemented CNTEL0BaseN frame is RAZ/WI.

In an implementation that supports 64-bit atomic accesses, a CNTVOFF{<n>} register must be accessible as an atomic 64-bit value.

CNTVOFF can be accessed through the memory-mapped interfaces:

ComponentFrameOffsetRange
TimerCNTBaseN0x01831:0

Access on this interface is RO.

ComponentFrameOffsetRange
TimerCNTBaseN0x01C63:32

Access on this interface is RO.
