CNTV_TVAL, Counter-timer Virtual Timer TimerValue register

The CNTV_TVAL characteristics are:

Purpose

Holds the timer value for the virtual timer.

Configuration

AArch32 System register CNTV_TVAL bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register CNTV_TVAL_EL0[31:0] .

RW fields in this register reset to architecturally UNKNOWN values.

Attributes

CNTV_TVAL is a 32-bit register.

Field descriptions

The CNTV_TVAL bit assignments are:

313029282726252423222120191817161514131211109876543210
TimerValue

TimerValue, bits [31:0]

The TimerValue view of the virtual timer.

On a read of this register:

On a write of this register, CNTV_CVAL is set to (CNTVCT + TimerValue), where TimerValue is treated as a signed 32-bit integer.

When CNTP_CTL.ENABLE is 1, the timer condition is met when (CNTVCT - CNTP_CVAL) is greater than or equal to zero. This means that TimerValue acts like a 32-bit downcounter timer. When the timer condition is met:

When CNTV_CTL.ENABLE is 0, the timer condition is not met, but CNTVCT continues to count, so the TimerValue view appears to continue to count down.

This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

Accessing the CNTV_TVAL

Accesses to this register use the following encodings:

MRC{<c>}{<q>} <coproc>, {#}<opc1>, <Rt>, <CRn>, <CRm>{, {#}<opc2>}

if PSTATE.EL == EL0 then if EL2Enabled() && !ELUsingAArch32(EL2) && HCR_EL2.<E2H,TGE> == '11' && SCR_EL3.NS == '0' then return CNTHVS_TVAL_EL2; elsif EL2Enabled() && !ELUsingAArch32(EL2) && HCR_EL2.<E2H,TGE> == '11' && SCR_EL3.NS == '1' then return CNTHV_TVAL_EL2; else return CNTV_TVAL; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL1 then return CNTV_TVAL; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL2 then return CNTV_TVAL; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL3 then return CNTV_TVAL;
