TRCCNTVR<n>, Counter Value Register <n>, n = 0 - 3

The TRCCNTVR<n> characteristics are:

Purpose

This sets or returns the value of counter <n>.

Configuration

External register TRCCNTVR<n> bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register TRCCNTVR<n>[31:0] .

RW fields in this register reset to architecturally UNKNOWN values.

This register is present only when ETE is implemented and TRCIDR5.NUMCNTR > n. Otherwise, direct accesses to TRCCNTVR<n> are RES0.

Attributes

TRCCNTVR<n> is a 32-bit register.

Field descriptions

The TRCCNTVR<n> bit assignments are:

Bits [31:16]

Reserved, RES0.

VALUE, bits [15:0]

Contains the count value of counter.

On a Trace unit reset, this field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

Accessing the TRCCNTVR<n>

Must be programmed if TRCRSCTLR<a>.GROUP == 0b0010 and TRCRSCTLR<a>.COUNTERS[n] == 0b1.

Writes are CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE if the trace unit is not in the Idle state.

Reads from this register might return an UNKNOWN value if the trace unit is not in either of the Idle or Stable states.

TRCCNTVR<n> can be accessed through the external debug interface:

This interface is accessible as follows:

• When !AllowExternalTraceAccess(), or OSLockStatus() or !IsTraceCorePowered() accesses to this register generate an error response.
• Otherwise accesses to this register are RW.
