PMCIDR0, Performance Monitors Component Identification Register 0

The PMCIDR0 characteristics are:

Purpose

Provides information to identify a Performance Monitor component.

For more information see 'About the Component identification scheme' in the Arm® Architecture Reference Manual, Armv8, for Armv8-A architecture profile, section H8 (About the External Debug Registers).

Configuration

It is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether PMCIDR0 is implemented in the Core power domain or in the Debug power domain.

Implementation of this register is OPTIONAL.

If ARMv8.3-DoPD is implemented, this register is in the Core power domain. If ARMv8.3-DoPD is not implemented, this register is in the Debug power domain.

This register is required for CoreSight compliance.

Attributes

PMCIDR0 is a 32-bit register.
