B1.122 Virtualization Translation Control Register
The VTCR characteristics are:
Purpose
Controls the translation table walks required for the stage 2 translation of memory accesses from
Non-secure modes other than Hyp mode, and holds cacheability and shareability information for
the accesses.
Usage constraints
This register is accessible as follows:
EL0
(NS)
EL0
(S)
EL1
(NS)
EL1
(S)
EL2
EL3
(SCR.NS = 1)
EL3
(SCR.NS = 0)
- - - - RW RW -
Used in conjunction with VTTBR, that defines the translation table base address for the
translations.
Configurations
VTCR is architecturally mapped to AArch64 register VTCR_EL2. See B2.105 Virtualization
Translation Control Register, EL2 on page B2-556.
This register is accessible only at EL2 or EL3.
Attributes
VTCR is a 32-bit register.
