The CNTFID0 characteristics are:
Indicates the base frequency of the system counter.
The power domain of CNTFID0 is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED. RW fields in this register reset to architecturally UNKNOWN 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'.
The possible frequencies for the system counter are stored in the Frequency modes table as 32-bit words starting with the base frequency, CNTFID0. For more information, see 'The Frequency modes table'.
The final entry in the Frequency modes table must be followed by a 32-bit word of zero value, to mark the end of the table.
Typically, the Frequency modes table will be in read-only memory. However, a system implementation might use read/write memory for the table, and initialize the table entries as part of its start-up sequence.
If the Frequency modes table is in read/write memory, Arm strongly recommends that the table is not updated once the system is running.
CNTFID0 is a 32-bit register.
The CNTFID0 bit assignments are:
31 | 30 | 29 | 28 | 27 | 26 | 25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
Frequency |
The base frequency of the system counter, in Hz.
This field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.
It is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether this register is RO or RW
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.
Component | Frame | Offset | Instance |
---|---|---|---|
Timer | CNTControlBase | 0x020 | CNTFID0 |
Accesses on this interface are RO or RW.
