LORSA_EL1: LORegion Start Address (EL1)

Purpose

Indicates whether the current LORegion descriptor selected by LORC_EL1.DS is enabled, and holds the physical address of the start of the LORegion.

Configuration

This register is present only when FEAT_LOR is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to LORSA_EL1 are UNDEFINED.

This register is RES0 if any of the following apply:

Attributes

LORSA_EL1 is a 64-bit register.

SA, bits [39:0]

Bits [55:16] of the start physical address of the LORegion described in the current LORegion descriptor selected by LORC_EL1.DS.

Bits[15:0] of this address are 0x0000.

For implementations with fewer than 56 physical address bits, the corresponding upper bits of this field are RES0.

The reset behavior of this field is:

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