# AMCR, Activity Monitors Control Register

The AMCR characteristics are:

## Purpose

Global control register for the activity monitors implementation. AMCR is applicable to both the architected and the auxiliary counter groups.

## Configuration

AArch32 System register AMCR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register AMCR_EL0[31:0] .

AArch32 System register AMCR bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to External register AMCR[31:0] .

This register is present only when AMUv1 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to AMCR are UNDEFINED.

## Attributes

AMCR is a 32-bit register.

## Field descriptions

The AMCR bit assignments are:

31 | 30 | 29 | 28 | 27 | 26 | 25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0
RES0 | HDBG | RAZ/WI

#### Bits [31:11]

Reserved, RES0.

#### HDBG, bit [10]

This bit controls whether activity monitor counting is halted when the PE is halted in Debug state.

HDBG | Meaning
--- | ---
0b0 | Activity monitors do not halt counting when the PE is halted in Debug state.
0b1 | Activity monitors halt counting when the PE is halted in Debug state.

#### Bits [9:0]

Reserved, RAZ/WI.

## Accessing the AMCR

Accesses to this register use the following encodings:

#### MRC{<c>}{<q>} <coproc>, {#}<opc1>, <Rt>, <CRn>, <CRm>{, {#}<opc2>}
