title: ARM architected timer
maintainers:

description: |+
ARM cores may have a per-core architected timer, which provides per-cpu timers,
or a memory mapped architected timer, which provides up to 8 frames with a
physical and optional virtual timer per frame.
The per-core architected timer is attached to a GIC to deliver its
per-processor interrupts via PPIs. The memory mapped timer is attached to a GIC
to deliver its interrupts via SPIs.

clock-frequency:
description: The frequency of the main counter, in Hz. Should be present
only where necessary to work around broken firmware which does not configure
CNTFRQ on all CPUs to a uniform correct value. Use of this property is
strongly discouraged; fix your firmware unless absolutely impossible.
always-on:
type: boolean
description: If present, the timer is powered through an always-on power
domain, therefore it never loses context.
allwinner,erratum-unknown1:
type: boolean
description: Indicates the presence of an erratum found in Allwinner SoCs,
where reading certain values from the counter is unreliable. This also
affects writes to the tval register, due to the implicit counter read.
fsl,erratum-a008585:
type: boolean
description: Indicates the presence of QorIQ erratum A-008585, which says
that reading the counter is unreliable unless the same value is returned
by back-to-back reads. This also affects writes to the tval register, due
to the implicit counter read.
hisilicon,erratum-161010101:
type: boolean
description: Indicates the presence of Hisilicon erratum 161010101, which
says that reading the counters is unreliable in some cases, and reads may
return a value 32 beyond the correct value. This also affects writes to
the tval registers, due to the implicit counter read.
arm,cpu-registers-not-fw-configured:
type: boolean
description: Firmware does not initialize any of the generic timer CPU
registers, which contain their architecturally-defined reset values. Only
supported for 32-bit systems which follow the ARMv7 architected reset
values.
arm,no-tick-in-suspend:
type: boolean
description: The main counter does not tick when the system is in
low-power system suspend on some SoCs. This behavior does not match the
Architecture Reference Manual's specification that the system counter "must
be implemented in an always-on power domain."
