Intel® PXA255 Processor Developer’s Manual 2-3
System Architecture
2.2.2 Coprocessor 14 Registers 0-3 - Performance Monitoring
The processor does not define any perform a nc e monitoring features beyond those called out in the
Intel® XScale™ Microarchitecture for the Intel® PXA255 Processor User’s Manual, order number
278793. The interrupt generated by perfor mance monitoring events is defined in Chapter4,
“System Integration Unit”. The ASSP defined performance monitoring events (events 0x10 -
0x17), defined through the PMNC register ar e re served for the processor.
2.2.3 Coprocessor 14 Register 6 and 7- Clock and Powe r Management
These registers allow software to use the c locking and power management modes. The valid
operations are described in Table3-23, “Coprocessor 14 Clock and Power Management Summary”
on page 3-39.
2.2.4 Coprocessor 15 Register 0 - ID Register Definition
This register may be read by software to determine the device type and revision. The contents of
this register for the Intel® PXA255 Processor is defined in the t able be low. Combined, this register
must read as 0x6905 2X0R where R = 0b0000 for the first stepping and then increments for
subsequent steppings, and X is the revision of the Intel® XScale™ microarchitecture present.

This is a read-only register.
