Holds event counter n, which counts events, where n is 0 to 30.
AArch32 System register PMEVCNTR<n> bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0[31:0].
AArch32 System register PMEVCNTR<n> bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to External register PMU.PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0[31:0].
This register is present only when AArch32 is supported and FEAT_PMUv3 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to PMEVCNTR<n> are UNDEFINED.
PMEVCNTR<n> is a 32-bit register.

| Event counter n | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Event counter n. Value of event counter n, where n is the number of this register and is a number from 0 to 30.
If FEAT_PMUv3p5 is implemented, the event counter is 64 bits and only the least-significant part of the event counter is accessible in AArch32 state:
Reads from PMEVCNTR<n> return bits [31:0] of the counter.
Writes to PMEVCNTR<n> update bits [31:0] and leave bits [63:32] unchanged.
There is no means to access bits [63:32] directly from AArch32 state.
If the implementation does not support AArch64, bits [63:32] are not required to be implemented.
If FEAT_PMUv3p5 is not implemented, the event counter is 32 bits.
The reset behavior of this field is:
PMEVCNTR<n> can also be accessed by using PMXEVCNTR with PMSELR.SEL set to n.
If FEAT_FGT is implemented and <n> is greater than or equal to the number of accessible event counters, then the behavior of permitted reads and writes of PMEVCNTR<n> is as follows:
If FEAT_FGT is not implemented and <n> is greater than or equal to the number of accessible event counters, then reads and writes of PMEVCNTR<n> are CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE, and the following behaviors are permitted:
Permitted reads and writes of PMEVCNTR<n> are RAZ/WI if all of the following are true:
Permitted writes of PMEVCNTR<n> are ignored if all of the following are true:
In EL0, an access is permitted if it is enabled by PMUSERENR.{ER,EN} or PMUSERENR_EL0.{UEN,ER,EN}.
If EL2 is implemented and enabled in the current Security state, at EL0 and EL1:
Otherwise, the number of accessible event counters is the number of implemented event counters. For more information, see HDCR.HPMN and MDCR_EL2.HPMN.
