The control register for stage 2 of the Non-secure PL1&0 translation regime.
This stage of translation always uses the Long-descriptor translation table format.
AArch32 System register VTCR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register VTCR_EL2[31:0].
This register is present only when FEAT_AA32EL2 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to VTCR are UNDEFINED.
If EL2 is not implemented, this register is RES0 from EL3.
VTCR is a 32-bit register.

Shareability attribute for memory associated with translation table walks using VTTBR.
SH0 | Meaning |
---|---|
0b00 |
Non-shareable. |
0b10 |
Outer Shareable. |
0b11 |
Inner Shareable. |
Other values are reserved. The effect of programming this field to a Reserved value is that behavior is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE.
The reset behavior of this field is:
Outer cacheability attribute for memory associated with translation table walks using VTTBR.
ORGN0 | Meaning |
---|---|
0b00 |
Normal memory, Outer Non-cacheable. |
0b01 |
Normal memory, Outer Write-Back Read-Allocate Write-Allocate Cacheable. |
0b10 |

The reset behavior of this field is:
Starting level for translation table walks using VTTBR.
SL0 | Meaning |
---|---|
0b00 |
Start at level 2 |
0b01 |
Start at level 1 |
All other values are reserved. If this field is programmed to a reserved value, or to a value that is not consistent with the programming of T0SZ, then a stage 2 level 1 Translation fault is generated.
The reset behavior of this field is:
Reserved, RES0.
Sign extension bit. This bit must be programmed to the value of T0SZ[3]. If it is not, then the stage 2 T0SZ value is treated as an UNKNOWN value
The reset behavior of this field is:
The size offset of the memory region addressed by VTTBR. The region size is 2(32-T0SZ) bytes.
This field holds a four-bit signed integer value, meaning it supports values from -8 to 7.
This is different from the other translation control registers, where TnSZ holds a three-bit unsigned integer, supporting values from 0 to 7.
If this field is programmed to a value that is not consistent with the programming of SL0 then a stage 2 level 1 Translation fault is generated.
The reset behavior of this field is:
