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;
