AMEVTYPER0<n>_EL0: Activity Monitors Event Type Registers 0, n = 0 - 3

Purpose

Provides information on the events that an architected activity monitor event counter AMEVCNTR0<n>_EL0 counts.

Configuration

AArch64 System register AMEVTYPER0<n>_EL0 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register AMEVTYPER0<n>[31:0].

AArch64 System register AMEVTYPER0<n>_EL0 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to External register AMU.AMEVTYPER0<n>[31:0].

This register is present only when FEAT_AMUv1 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to AMEVTYPER0<n>_EL0 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

AMEVTYPER0<n>_EL0 is a 64-bit register.

evtCount, bits [15:0]

Event to count. The event number of the event that is counted by the architected activity monitor event counter AMEVCNTR0<n>_EL0. The value of this field is architecturally mandated for each architected counter.

The following table shows the mapping between required event numbers and the corresponding counters:

The value of this field is an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED choice of:

Accessing AMEVTYPER0<n>_EL0

If <n> is greater than or equal to the number of architected activity monitor event counters, reads and writes of AMEVTYPER0<n>_EL0 are UNDEFINED.

Note

AMCGCR_EL0.CG0NC identifies the number of architected activity monitor event counters.

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