CNTVOFF<n>, Counter-timer Virtual Offsets, n = 0 - 7

The CNTVOFF<n> characteristics are:

Purpose

Holds the 64-bit virtual offset for frame CNTBase<n>. This is the offset between real time and virtual time.

Configuration

The power domain of CNTVOFF<n> is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED.

On a reset of the reset domain in which an RW instance of this register is implemented, RW fields in the register reset to UNKNOWN values. The register is not affected by a reset of any other reset domain. For more information see 'Power and reset domains for the system level implementation of the Generic Timer'.

For more information, see 'Power and reset domains for the system level implementation of the Generic Timer'.

Attributes

CNTVOFF<n> is a 64-bit register.

Field descriptions

The CNTVOFF<n> bit assignments are:

Bits [63:0]

Virtual offset.

This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

Accessing the CNTVOFF<n>

In the CNTCTLBase frame a CNTVOFF<n> register must be implemented, as a RW register, for each CNTBaseN frame that has virtual timer capability. For more information, see 'CNTCTLBase status and control fields for the CNTBaseN and CNTEL0BaseN frames'.

Note

The value of <n> in an instance of CNTVOFF<n> specifies the value of N for the associated CNTBaseN frame.

In a system that recognizes two Security states, for any CNTVOFF<n> register in the CNTCTLBase frame:

The register location of any unimplemented CNTVOFF<n> register in the CNTCTLBase frame is RAZ/WI.

The CNTVOFF<n> register is accessible in the CNTBaseN frame using CNTVOFF.

In an implementation that supports 64-bit atomic accesses, then the CNTVOFF<n> registers must be accessible as atomic 64-bit values.

CNTVOFF<n> can be accessed through the memory-mapped interfaces:

ComponentFrameOffsetRange
TimerCNTCTLBase0x080 + 8n31:0

Accesses on this interface are RW.

ComponentFrameOffsetRange
TimerCNTCTLBase0x084 + 8n63:32

Accesses on this interface are RW.
