CNTP_CVAL, Counter-timer Physical Timer CompareValue

The CNTP_CVAL characteristics are:

Purpose

Holds the 64-bit compare value for the EL1 physical timer.

Configuration

It is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether CNTP_CVAL is implemented in the Core power domain or in the Debug power domain.

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

Attributes

CNTP_CVAL is a 64-bit register.

CompareValue
CompareValue

CompareValue, bits [63:0]

Holds the EL1 physical timer CompareValue.

When CNTP_CTL.ENABLE is 1, the timer condition is met when (CNTPCT - 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 CNTP_CTL.ENABLE is 0, the timer condition is not met, but CNTPCT continues to count.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Accessing CNTP_CVAL

CNTP_CVAL can be implemented in any implemented CNTBaseN frame, and in the corresponding CNTEL0BaseN frame.

'CNTCTLBase status and control fields for the CNTBaseN and CNTEL0BaseN frames' describes the status fields that identify whether a CNTBaseN frame is implemented, and for an implemented frame:

For an implemented CNTBaseN frame:

For an implemented CNTEL0BaseN frame:

If the implementation supports 64-bit atomic accesses, then the CNTP_CVAL register must be accessible as an atomic 64-bit value.

CNTP_CVAL can be accessed through the memory-mapped interfaces:
