Activity Monitors Counter Group Configuration Register
Provides information on the number of activity monitor event counters implemented within each counter group.
External register AMCGCR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register AMCGCR_EL0[31:0] when FEAT_AMU_EXT32 is implemented.
External register AMCGCR bits [63:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register AMCGCR_EL0[63:0] when FEAT_AMU_EXT64 is implemented.
External register AMCGCR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register AMCGCR[31:0].
It is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether AMCGCR is implemented in the Core power domain or in the Debug power domain.
This register is present only when FEAT_AMUv1 is implemented and FEAT_AMU_EXT is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to AMCGCR are RES0.
AMCGCR is a:

Reserved, RES0.
Counter Group 1 Number of Counters. Highest index of the implemented counters in the auxiliary counter group, plus one. Zero indicates that there are no counters in the auxiliary counter group.
In an implementation that includes FEAT_AMUv1, the permitted range of values is 0 to 16.
If FEAT_AMUv1p1 is implemented, then AMCG1IDR_EL0 further defines which auxiliary counters are implemented, and the counters in the auxiliary counter group might be implemented non-contiguously.
This field has an IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED value.
Access to this field is RO.
Counter Group 0 Number of Counters. The number of counters in the architected counter group.
Reads as 0x04.
Access to this field is RO.
