CNTHPS_CVAL, Counter-timer Secure Physical Timer CompareValue Register (EL2)

The CNTHPS_CVAL characteristics are:

Purpose

Provides AArch32 access from EL0 to the compare value for the Secure EL2 physical timer.

Configuration

AArch32 System register CNTHPS_CVAL bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register CNTHPS_CVAL_EL2[63:0].

This register is present only when AArch32 is supported and FEAT_SEL2 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to CNTHPS_CVAL are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

CNTHPS_CVAL is a 64-bit register.

CompareValue
CompareValue

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

If the Generic counter is implemented at a size less than 64 bits, then this field is permitted to be implemented at the same width as the counter, and the upper bits are RES0.

The value of this field is treated as zero-extended in all counter calculations.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Accessing CNTHPS_CVAL

This register is accessed using the encoding for CNTP_CVAL.

Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:
