TRCEXTINSELR<n>: Trace External Input Select Register <n>, n = 0 - 3

Purpose

Use this to set, or read, which External Inputs are resources to the trace unit.

The name TRCEXTINSELR is an alias of TRCEXTINSELR0.

Configuration

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

This register is present only when FEAT_ETE is implemented, FEAT_TRC_EXT is implemented and UInt(TRCIDR5.NUMEXTINSEL) > n. Otherwise, direct accesses to TRCEXTINSELR<n> are RES0.

Attributes

TRCEXTINSELR<n> is a 32-bit register.

RES0evtCount

Bits [31:16]

Reserved, RES0.

evtCount, bits [15:0]

PMU event to select.

The event number as defined by the Arm ARM.

Software must program this field with a PMU event that is supported by the PE being programmed.

There are three ranges of PMU event numbers:

If evtCount is programmed to a PMU event that is reserved or not supported by the PE, the behavior depends on the PMU event type:

UNPREDICTABLE means the PMU event must not expose privileged information.

Arm recommends that the behavior across a family of implementations is defined such that if a given implementation does not include a PMU event from a set of common IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED PMU events, then no PMU event is counted and the value read back on evtCount is the value written.

The reset behavior of this field is:

Accessing TRCEXTINSELR<n>

Must be programmed if any of the following is true: TRCRSCTLR<a>.GROUP == 0b0000 and TRCRSCTLR<a>.EXTIN[n] == 1.

Writes are CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE if the trace unit is not in the Idle state.

TRCEXTINSELR<n> can be accessed through the external debug interface:

ComponentOffsetInstance
ETE0x120 + (4 * n)TRCEXTINSELR<n>

This interface is accessible as follows:
