CNTSR, Counter Status Register

The CNTSR characteristics are:

Purpose

Provides counter frequency status information.

Configuration

The power domain of CNTSR is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED. Some or all RW fields of this register have defined reset values. These apply only on a reset of the reset domain in which the register is implemented. 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'.

Attributes

CNTSR is a 32-bit register.

Field descriptions

The CNTSR bit assignments are:

313029282726252423222120191817161514131211109876543210
FCACKRES0DBGHRES0

FCACK, bits [31:8]

Frequency change acknowledge. Indicates the currently selected entry in the Frequency modes table, see 'The Frequency modes table'.

This field resets to 0.

Bits [7:2]

Reserved, RES0.

DBGH, bit [1]

Indicates whether the counter is halted because the Halt-on-debug signal is asserted:

DBGHMeaning
0b0

Counter is not halted.

0b1

Counter is halted.

This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

Bit [0]

Reserved, RES0.

Accessing the CNTSR

In a system that supports Secure and Non-secure memory maps the CNTControlBase frame, that includes this register, is implemented only in the Secure memory map.

CNTSR can be accessed through the memory-mapped interfaces:

ComponentFrameOffsetInstance
TimerCNTControlBase0x004CNTSR

Accesses on this interface are RO.
