HTCR: Hyp Translation Control Register

Purpose

The control register for stage 1 of the EL2 translation regime.

Note

This stage of translation always uses the Long-descriptor translation table format.

Configuration

AArch32 System register HTCR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register TCR_EL2[31:0].

This register is present only when EL2 is capable of using AArch32. Otherwise, direct accesses to HTCR are UNDEFINED.

If EL2 is not implemented, this register is RES0 from EL3.

Attributes

HTCR is a 32-bit register.
