11.3.2 PMU Status Register (PSR)

The PSR allows access to the over flow flags from the PEC counters. These flags remain

set until cleared by writing a 1 to the bit.

11.3.3 Programmable Event Counters (PEC1)

There are seven programmable event counters (PEC1 – PEC7). These counters are 27

bits wide and are read-only.

The value in any register is incremented based on the current programmed ESR value.

If a new value is written to the ESR, all PEC counter registers are reset to 0. The

counters are halted when HALT mode is selected.
