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

The CNTHPS_CVAL characteristics are:

Purpose

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

Note

The Secure EL2 timer is implemented by ARMv8.4-SecEL2. It is only accessible from AArch32 state when EL2 is using AArch64 and the value of SCR_EL3.{EEL2, NS} is {1, 0}.

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 ARMv8.4-SecEL2 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to CNTHPS_CVAL are UNDEFINED.

RW fields in this register reset to architecturally UNKNOWN values.

Attributes

CNTHPS_CVAL is a 64-bit register.

Field descriptions

The CNTHPS_CVAL 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
CompareValue
CompareValue
31	30	29	28	27	26	25	24	23	22	21	20	19	18	17	16	15	14	13	12	11	10	9	8	7	6	5	4	3	2	1	0

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:

CNTHPS_CTL_EL2.ISTATUS is set to 1.
If CNTHPS_CTL_EL2.IMASK is 0, an interrupt is generated.

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.

This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

Accessing the CNTHPS_CVAL

This register is accessed using the encoding for CNTP_CVAL.

Accesses to this register use the following encodings:
