Hello,
In the ARM Architecture Reference Manual ARMv8, for ARMv8-A architecture profile, there's a description about vttbr_el2: " Register bits[47:x] hold bits[47:x] of the stage 1 translation table base address" . I am a little confused, as far as I know , the vttbr_el2 register hold the stage 2 page table base address, so what's the meaning of " stage 1 translation table base address"?
Also, I tired to open the 2 stage paging in my system. I setup the 2 stage page table at physical address(0x20000000), and set the vttbr_el2 to this value.However, I got a Data Abort (code: 000101) which means a level 1 translation fault in stage 2 translation. So what's the correct usage of vttbr_el2?
I am using cortex-a53 and here's the related register value I set:
HCR: 0x80000001
VTCR_EL2: 0x80023558
VTTBR_EL2: 0x20000000
Yes, I invalidated the TLBs by " TLBI ALLE1IS" and "TLBI ALLE2IS". I will try to contact Arm Support for some example code.
And thanks for your help!
