AMCGCR_EL0

Activity Monitors Counter Group Configuration Register

Provides information on the number of activity monitor event counters implemented within each counter group.

Configuration

AArch64 System register AMCGCR_EL0 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register AMCGCR[31:0].

AArch64 System register AMCGCR_EL0 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to External register AMCGCR[31:0] when FEAT_AMU_EXT32 is implemented.

AArch64 System register AMCGCR_EL0 bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to External register AMCGCR[63:0] when FEAT_AMU_EXT64 is implemented.

This register is present only when FEAT_AMUv1 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to AMCGCR_EL0 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

AMCGCR_EL0 is a 64-bit register.

Reads as 0x04.

Access to this field is RO.

Access Instructions

Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:

MRS <Xt>, AMCGCR_EL0

(op0 = 0b11, op1 = 0b011, CRn = 0b1101, CRm = 0b0010, op2 = 0b010)
