Register Definitions
Table 11-10 describes the bit settings for the SVR.
11.9.7 Global Timer Registers
This section describes the global timer registers. Note that each of the four timers (timer
0–timer 3) has four individual configuration registers (GTCCRn, GTBCRn, GTVPRn,
GTDRn), but they are shown only once in this section.
11.9.7.1 Timer Frequency Reporting Register (TFRR)
The TFRR is written by software to report the clocking frequency of the EPIC timers. Note
that although this register is read/write, the value in this register is ignored by the EPIC unit.
Figure 11-10 shows the bits in the TFRR.
Figure 11-10. Timer Frequency Reporting Register (TFRR)
Table 11-11 describes the bit settings for the TFRR.

Spurious interrupt vector. The vector value in this field is returned when the
interrupt acknowledge register (IACK) is read during a spurious vector fetch.

TIMER_FREQ
All 0s
Timer frequency. This register is used to report the frequency of the clock
source for the global timers (in ticks/seconds (Hz)) which is always the
SDRAM_CLK signal. The timers operate at 1/8th the speed of the
SDRAM_CLK signal.
The register is only set by software. The value in this register does not affect
the speed of the timers. The timers’ speed is determined by the
PLL_CFG[0–4] signals and the frequency of the PCI_SYNC_IN signal. The
value may be written by the system initialization code after the SDRAM_CLK
frequency has been determined by the firmware. The firmware can use
information stored in the HID1 register and information about the actual
processor frequency to determine the SDRAM_CLK frequency. However, in
some cases, more system frequency information may be required.
