CNTP_TVAL Counter-timer Physical Timer TimerValue It is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether CNTP_TVAL is implemented in the Core power domain or in the Debug power domain Timer CNTBaseN 0x028 CNTP_TVAL RW Timer CNTEL0BaseN 0x028 CNTP_TVAL RW Holds the timer value for the EL1 physical timer. Timer For more information, see 'Power and reset domains for the system level implementation of the Generic Timer'. CNTP_TVAL is a 32-bit register. TimerValue 31 0 31:0 The TimerValue view of the EL1 physical timer. On a read of this register: If CNTP_CTL.ENABLE is 0, the value returned is UNKNOWN. If CNTP_CTL.ENABLE is 1, the value returned is (CompareValue - CNTPCT). On a write of this register, CompareValue is set to (CNTPCT + TimerValue), where TimerValue is treated as a signed 32-bit integer. When CNTP_CTL.ENABLE is 1, the timer condition is met when (CNTPCT - CompareValue) is greater than or equal to zero. This means that TimerValue acts like a 32-bit downcounter timer. When the timer condition is met: CNTP_CTL.ISTATUS is set to 1. If CNTP_CTL.IMASK is 0, an interrupt is generated. When CNTP_CTL.ENABLE is 0, the timer condition is not met, but CNTPCT continues to count, so the TimerValue view appears to continue to count down. AU CNTP_TVAL 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: Whether the CNTBaseN frame has virtual timer capability. Whether the corresponding CNTEL0BaseN frame is implemented. For an implementation that supports the Realm Management Extension, whether the CNTBaseN frame, and any corresponding CNTEL0BaseN frame, is accessible by Root and Realm accesses. For an implementation that recognizes two Security states, whether the CNTBaseN frame, and any corresponding CNTEL0BaseN frame, is accessible by Non-secure accesses. The CNTBaseN frame is always accessible by Secure accesses. For an implemented CNTBaseN frame: CNTP_TVAL is accessible in that frame if the value of CNTACR<n>.RWPT is 1. Otherwise, the CNTP_TVAL address in that frame is RAZ/WI. For an implemented CNTEL0BaseN frame: CNTP_TVAL is accessible in that frame if both: CNTP_TVAL is accessible in the corresponding CNTBaseN frame: The value of CNTEL0ACR.EL0PTEN is 1. Otherwise, the CNTP_TVAL address in that frame is RAZ/WI. 2026-03-26 20:27:25 2026-03_rel
