Description

Functions that relate to the Performance Monitoring Unit.

The following functions support the Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU) that is available on the Cortex-M55/M85 processors.

The PMU is used to monitor events that occur during run-time of an application.

Example:

// Initialize counter variables
unsigned int cycle_count = 0;
unsigned int l1_dcache_miss_count = 0;
unsigned int instructions_retired_count = 0;
// Enable the PMU
// Note: Before using the PMU, software needs to ensure
// that trace is enabled via the Debug Exception Monitor Control Register, DEMCR:
// CoreDebug->DEMCR |= CoreDebug_DEMCR_TRCENA_Msk;
ARM_PMU_Enable();
// Configure Event Counter Register 0 to count instructions retired
// Configure Event Counter Register 1 to count L1 D-Cache misses
ARM_PMU_Set_EVTYPER(0, ARM_PMU_INST_RETIRED);
ARM_PMU_Set_EVTYPER(1, ARM_PMU_L1D_CACHE_MISS_RD);
// Reset Event Counters and Cycle Counter
ARM_PMU_EVCNTR_ALL_Reset();
ARM_PMU_CYCCNT_Reset();
// Start incrementing Cycle Count Register and Event Counter Registers 0 & 1
ARM_PMU_CNTR_Enable(PMU_CNTENSET_CCNTR_ENABLE_Msk|PMU_CNTENSET_CNT0_ENABLE_Msk|PMU_CNTENSET_CNT1_ENABLE_Msk);
// Code you want to measure here
// Stop incrementing Cycle Count Register and Event Counter Registers 0 & 1
ARM_PMU_CNTR_Disable(PMU_CNTENCLR_CCNTR_ENABLE_Msk|PMU_CNTENCLR_CNT0_ENABLE_Msk|PMU_CNTENCLR_CNT1_ENABLE_Msk);
// Get cycle count, number of instructions retired and number of L1 D-Cache misses (on read)
cycle_count = cycle_count + ARM_PMU_Get_CCNTR();
instructions_retired_count = instructions_retired_count + ARM_PMU_Get_EVCNTR(0);
l1_dcache_miss_count = l1_dcache_miss_count + ARM_PMU_Get_EVCNTR(1); // Note: D-Cache must be enabled using
// SCB_EnableDCache() for meaningful result.

Macro Definition Documentation

#define PMU

PMU configuration struct.

This macro can be used to access the PMU registers, directly. For the common tasks one should prefer using the control functions.

Example: Example:

PMU->CTRL |= PMU_CTRL_ENABLE_Msk; // Enable PMU
