RVBAR_EL2, Reset Vector Base Address Register (if EL3 not implemented)
The RVBAR_EL2 characteristics are:
Purpose
If EL2 is the highest Exception level implemented, contains the IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED address that execution starts from after reset when executing in AArch64 state.
Configuration
Only implemented if the highest Exception level implemented is EL2.
This register has no effect if EL2 is not enabled in the current Security state.
Attributes
RVBAR_EL2 is a 64-bit register.
Field descriptions
The RVBAR_EL2 bit assignments are:
63 | 62 | 61 | 60 | 59 | 58 | 57 | 56 | 55 | 54 | 53 | 52 | 51 | 50 | 49 | 48 | 47 | 46 | 45 | 44 | 43 | 42 | 41 | 40 | 39 | 38 | 37 | 36 | 35 | 34 | 33 | 32 |

Bits [63:0]
Reset Address. The IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED address that execution starts from after reset when executing in 64-bit state. Bits[1:0] of this register are 00, as this address must be aligned, and the address must be within the physical address size supported by the PE.
Accessing the RVBAR_EL2
Accesses to this register use the following encodings:
MRS <Xt>, RVBAR_EL2
op0 | op1 | CRn | CRm | op2 |
---|---|---|---|---|
0b11 | 0b100 | 0b1100 | 0b0000 | 0b001 |
if PSTATE.EL == EL1 && EL2Enabled() && HCR_EL2.NV == '1' then AArch64.SystemAccessTrap(EL2, 0x18); elsif PSTATE.EL == EL2 && IsHighestEL(EL2) then return RVBAR_EL2; else UNDEFINED;
