The functionality of the EOnCE controller registers is described in Section 4.7, “EOnCE Controller Registers.”

4.5.2 Event Counter

The 64-bit event counter is used to count one of the following possible events:

System clock

Instruction execution

Event detection by an event detection channel

Tracing into the trace buffer

Execution of the DEBUGEV instruction

Off-core events from the EC input signals

When the core is in debug state, the event counter does not count core clocks. The event counter programming model includes three registers:

Event counter register (ECNT_CTRL)

Downcount event counter value register (ECNT_VAL)

Extension counter value register (ECNT_EXT)
