Event Counter Registers

4.8.3 Extension Counter Value Register (ECNT_EXT)

This is a 32-bit register that is used in the extended mode of operation to count the number transitions from 1 to 0 in the ECNT_VAL register. See Section 4.5.2, “Event Counter,” for further details. The ECNT_EXT register counts up. Reset writes zeros to this register. Software can write the register when new counting is started. The MSB is always zero, so the count is from $0000 0000 to $7FFF FFFF. When the register is written, the MSB should be written to zero for software compatibility.

4.8.4 EC Signals

The two event counter signals EC0 and EC1 allow the event counter to count off-core events such as cache hits/misses, memory contention, external wait states, etc. These inputs are assumed to be synchronized to the core clock and support a counting rate up to the core frequency. EC0 and EC1 use is derivative-dependent.
