Performance Monitor UnitTable 11-2 PMCFGR bit assignments (continued)Bits Name Function[14] CC Cycle counter implemented. This bit is RO:1 Cycle counter is implemented. PMCR.C is writable.[13:8] Size Counter size. This field is RO and reads as b011111:b01111132-bit counters.[7:0] N Number of event counters. This field is RO with a value that indicates the number of implementedevent counters:b00000110 Six counters.NoteThe cycle counter is not included in the value indicated by the N field.The value of HDCR.HPMN has no effect on the value returned by this field.11.4.2 Performance Monitor Control RegisterThe PMCR characteristics are:PurposeProvides information on the Performance Monitors implementation,including the number of counters implemented, and configures andcontrols the counters.Usage constraints The PMCR is:• A read/write register.• Common to the Secure and Non-secure states.• Accessible in Hyp mode, and all modes executing at PL1 whenHDCR.TPM and HDCR.TPMCR are set to 0.• Accessible in User mode only when PMUSERENR.EN is set to 1,HDCR.TPM and HDCR.TPMCR are set to 0.ConfigurationsAvailable in all configurations.Attributes See the register summary in Table 11-1 on page 11-4.Figure 11-3 shows the PMCR bit assignments.31 24 23 16 15 11 10 6 5 4 3 2 1 0IMP IDCODE N Reserved DP X D C PEFigure 11-3 PMCR bit assignments<strong>ARM</strong> DDI 0438I Copyright © 2011-2013 <strong>ARM</strong>.
