TRCTSCTLR: Trace Timestamp Control Register

Purpose

Controls the insertion of global timestamps in the trace stream.

Configuration

AArch64 System register TRCTSCTLR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to External register TRCTSCTLR[31:0].

This register is present only when FEAT_ETE is implemented, System register access to the trace unit registers is implemented and TRCIDR0.TSSIZE != 0b00000. Otherwise, direct accesses to TRCTSCTLR are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

TRCTSCTLR is a 64-bit register.

RES0
RES0EVENT_TYPERES0EVENT_SEL

Bits [63:8]

Reserved, RES0.

EVENT_TYPE, bit [7]

When TRCIDR4.NUMRSPAIR != 0b0000:

Chooses the type of Resource Selector.

EVENT_TYPEMeaning
0b0

A single Resource Selector.

TRCTSCTLR.EVENT.SEL[4:0] selects the single Resource Selector, from 0-31, used to activate the resource event.

0b1

A Boolean-combined pair of Resource Selectors.

TRCTSCTLR.EVENT.SEL[3:0] selects the Resource Selector pair, from 0-15, that has a Boolean function that is applied to it whose output is used to activate the resource event. TRCTSCTLR.EVENT.SEL[4] is RES0.

The reset behavior of this field is:



Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

Bits [6:5]

Reserved, RES0.

EVENT_SEL, bits [4:0]

When TRCIDR4.NUMRSPAIR != 0b0000:

Defines the selected Resource Selector or pair of Resource Selectors. TRCTSCTLR.EVENT.TYPE controls whether TRCTSCTLR.EVENT.SEL is the index of a single Resource Selector, or the index of a pair of Resource Selectors.

If an unimplemented Resource Selector is selected using this field, the behavior of the resource event is UNPREDICTABLE, and the resource event might fire or might not fire when the resources are not in the Paused state.

Selecting Resource Selector pair 0 using this field is UNPREDICTABLE, and the resource event might fire or might not fire when the resources are not in the Paused state.

The reset behavior of this field is:



Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

Accessing TRCTSCTLR

Must be programmed if TRCCONFIGR.TS == 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:
