CNTV_CVAL, Counter-timer Virtual Timer CompareValue register

The CNTV_CVAL characteristics are:

Purpose

Holds the compare value for the virtual timer.

Configuration

AArch32 System register CNTV_CVAL bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register CNTV_CVAL_EL0[63:0].

This register is present only when AArch32 is supported. Otherwise, direct accesses to CNTV_CVAL are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

CNTV_CVAL is a 64-bit register.

CompareValue
CompareValue

CompareValue, bits [63:0]

Holds the EL1 virtual timer CompareValue.

When CNTV_CTL.ENABLE is 1, the timer condition is met when (CNTVCT - CompareValue) is greater than or equal to zero. This means that CompareValue acts like a 64-bit upcounter timer. When the timer condition is met:

When CNTV_CTL.ENABLE is 0, the timer condition is not met, but CNTVCT continues to count.

If the Generic counter is implemented at a size less than 64 bits, then this field is permitted to be implemented at the same width as the counter, and the upper bits are RES0.

The value of this field is treated as zero-extended in all counter calculations.

The reset behavior of this field is:
