TRCCNTRLDVR<n>, Counter Reload Value Register <n>, n = 0 - 3

The TRCCNTRLDVR<n> characteristics are:

Purpose

This sets or returns the reload count value for Counter <n>.

Configuration

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

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

Attributes

TRCCNTRLDVR<n> is a 32-bit register.

Field descriptions

The TRCCNTRLDVR<n> bit assignments are:

Bits [31:16]

Reserved, RES0.

VALUE, bits [15:0]

Contains the reload value for Counter <n>. When a reload event occurs for Counter <n> then the trace unit copies the VALUE<n> field into Counter <n>.

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

Accessing the TRCCNTRLDVR<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.

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

This interface is accessible as follows:

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