AMEVCNTR1<n>

AMEVCNTR1<n>, Activity Monitors Event Counter Registers 1, n = 0 - 15

The AMEVCNTR1<n> characteristics are:

Purpose

Provides access to the auxiliary activity monitor event counters.

Configuration

External register AMEVCNTR1<n> bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register AMEVCNTR1<n>_EL0[63:0].

External register AMEVCNTR1<n> bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register AMEVCNTR1<n>[31:0].

It is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether AMEVCNTR1<n> is implemented in the Core power domain or in the Debug power domain.

This register is present only when FEAT_AMUv1 is implemented and FEAT_AMU_EXT is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to AMEVCNTR1<n> are RES0.

Attributes

AMEVCNTR1<n> is a 64-bit register.

This register is part of the AMU block.

ACNT, bits [63:0]

Auxiliary activity monitor event counter n.

Value of auxiliary activity monitor event counter n, where n is the number of this register and is a number from 0 to 15.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Accessing AMEVCNTR1<n>

If <n> is greater than or equal to AMCGCR.CG1NC or FEAT_AMUv1p1 is implemented and auxiliary counter <n> is not implemented, then reads of AMEVCNTR1<n> are RAZ. Software must treat reserved accesses as RES0. See 'Access requirements for reserved and unallocated registers'.

Accesses to this register use the following encodings:

When FEAT_AMU_EXT64 is implemented

[63:0] Accessible at offset 0x100 + (8 * n) from AMU

When FEAT_AMU_EXT32 is implemented

[63:0] Accessible at offset 0x100 + (8 * n) from AMU
