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

It is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether CNTVOFF<n> is implemented in the Core power domain or in the Debug power domain.

Implementation of this register is OPTIONAL.

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.

Virtual offset.

The reset behavior of this field is:

On a Timer reset, this field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.

Accessing 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 supports the Realm Management Extension, CNTNSAR.NS<n> describes how these registers can be accessed by Root or Realm accesses.

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

CNTVOFF<n> is always accessible by Secure accesses.
CNTNSAR.NS<n> determines whether CNTVOFF<n> is accessible by Non-secure accesses.

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:

Component	Frame	Offset	Range
Timer	CNTCTLBase	0x080 + (8 * n)	31:0

Accesses on this interface are RW.

Component	Frame	Offset	Range
Timer	CNTCTLBase	0x084 + (8 * n)	63:32

Accesses on this interface are RW.
