CNTHVS_TVAL, Counter-timer Secure Virtual Timer TimerValue Register (EL2)

The CNTHVS_TVAL characteristics are:

Purpose

Provides AArch32 access to the timer value for the Secure EL2 virtual timer.

Configuration

AArch32 System register CNTHVS_TVAL bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register CNTHVS_TVAL_EL2[31:0].

This register is present only when AArch32 is supported and FEAT_SEL2 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to CNTHVS_TVAL are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

CNTHVS_TVAL is a 32-bit register.

TimerValue

TimerValue, bits [31:0]

The TimerValue view of the EL2 virtual timer.

On a read of this register:

On a write of this register, CNTHVS_CVAL is set to (CNTVCT + TimerValue), where TimerValue is treated as a signed 32-bit integer.

When CNTHVS_CTL.ENABLE is 1, the timer condition is met when (CNTVCT - CNTHVS_CVAL) is greater than or equal to zero. This means that TimerValue acts like a 32-bit downcounter timer. When the timer condition is met:

When CNTHVS_CTL.ENABLE is 0, the timer condition is not met, but CNTVCT continues to count, so the TimerValue view appears to continue to count down.

Accessing CNTHVS_TVAL

This register is accessed using the encoding for CNTV_TVAL.

Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:

MRC{<c>}{<q>} <coproc>, {#}<opc1>, <Rt>, <CRn>, <CRm>{, {#}<opc2>}
