The CNTPS_CTL_EL1 characteristics are:
Control register for the secure physical timer, usually accessible at EL3 but configurably accessible at EL1 in Secure state.
There are no configuration notes.
CNTPS_CTL_EL1 is a 64-bit register.

RES0 | ISTATUS | IMASK | ENABLE |
Reserved, RES0.
The status of the timer. This bit indicates whether the timer condition is met:
ISTATUS | Meaning |
---|---|
0b0 |
Timer condition is not met. |
0b1 |
Timer condition is met. |
When the value of the ENABLE bit is 1, ISTATUS indicates whether the timer condition is met. ISTATUS takes no account of the value of the IMASK bit. If the value of ISTATUS is 1 and the value of IMASK is 0 then the timer interrupt is asserted.
When the value of the ENABLE bit is 0, the ISTATUS field is UNKNOWN.
The reset behaviour of this field is:
Access to this field is RO.
Timer interrupt mask bit. Permitted values are:
IMASK | Meaning |
---|---|
0b0 |
Timer interrupt is not masked by the IMASK bit. |
0b1 |
Timer interrupt is masked by the IMASK bit. |
For more information, see the description of the ISTATUS bit.
The reset behaviour of this field is:
Enables the timer. Permitted values are:
ENABLE | Meaning |
---|---|
0b0 |
Timer disabled. |
0b1 |
Timer enabled. |
Setting this bit to 0 disables the timer output signal, but the timer value accessible from CNTPS_TVAL_EL1 continues to count down.
Disabling the output signal might be a power-saving option.
The reset behaviour of this field is:
Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:
