TRCCNTRLDVR<n>, Trace Counter Reload Value Register <n>, n = 0 - 3

The TRCCNTRLDVR<n> characteristics are:

Purpose

This sets or returns the reload count value for Counter <n>.

Configuration

AArch64 System register TRCCNTRLDVR<n> bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to External register TRCCNTRLDVR<n>[31:0].

This register is present only when FEAT_ETE is implemented, System register access to the trace unit registers is implemented, and UInt(TRCIDR5.NUMCNTR) > n. Otherwise, direct accesses to TRCCNTRLDVR<n> are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

TRCCNTRLDVR<n> is a 64-bit register.

Bits [63:16]

Reserved, RES0.

VALUE, bits [15:0]

Contains the reload value for Counter <n>. When a reload event occurs for Counter <n> then the trace unit copies the VALUE<n> field into Counter <n>.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Accessing TRCCNTRLDVR<n>

Must be programmed if TRCRSCTLR<a>.GROUP == 0b0010 and TRCRSCTLR<a>.COUNTERS[n] == 1.

Writes are CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE if the trace unit is not in the Idle state.

Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:
