GICD_SETSPI_NSR, Set Non-secure SPI Pending Register

The GICD_SETSPI_NSR characteristics are:

Purpose

Adds the pending state to a valid SPI if permitted by the Security state of the access and the GICD_NSACR<n> value for that SPI.

A write to this register changes the state of an inactive SPI to pending, and the state of an active SPI to active and pending.

Configuration

If GICD_TYPER.MBIS == 0, this register is reserved.

When GICD_CTLR.DS==1, this register provides functionality for all SPIs.

Attributes

GICD_SETSPI_NSR is a 32-bit register.

Field descriptions

The GICD_SETSPI_NSR bit assignments are:

Bits [31:13]

Reserved, RES0.

INTID, bits [12:0]

The INTID of the SPI.

The function of this register depends on whether the targeted SPI is configured to be an edge-triggered or level-sensitive interrupt:

  • For an edge-triggered interrupt, a write to GICD_SETSPI_NSR or GICD_SETSPI_SR adds the pending state to the targeted interrupt. It will stop being pending on activation, or if the pending state is removed by a write to GICD_CLRSPI_NSR, GICD_CLRSPI_SR, or GICD_ICPENDR<n>.
  • For a level-sensitive interrupt, a write to GICD_SETSPI_NSR or GICD_SETSPI_SR adds the pending state to the targeted interrupt. It will remain pending until it is deasserted by a write to GICD_CLRSPI_NSR or GICD_CLRSPI_SR. If the interrupt is activated between having the pending state added and being deactivated, then the interrupt will be active and pending.

Accessing the GICD_SETSPI_NSR

Writes to this register have no effect if:

  • The value written specifies a Secure SPI, the value is written by a Non-secure access, and the value of the corresponding GICD_NSACR<n> register is 0.
  • The value written specifies an invalid SPI.
  • The SPI is already pending.

16-bit accesses to bits [15:0] of this register must be supported.

Note

A Secure access to this register can set the pending state of any valid SPI.

GICD_SETSPI_NSR can be accessed through the memory-mapped interfaces:

ComponentOffsetInstance
GIC Distributor0x0040GICD_SETSPI_NSR

This interface is accessible as follows:

  • When GICD_CTLR.DS == 0 accesses to this register are WO.
  • When an access is Secure accesses to this register are WO.
  • When an access is Non-secure accesses to this register are WO.
