Performance Monitoring features for Cortex A8

Hi,

I am trying to use the performance counter feature in Cortex A8. I have downloaded the sample code given here : [url="http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.faqs/ka4237.html"]http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?t...aqs/ka4237.html[/url]

I am able to find the cycles taken via the cycle counter. But when I set an event to count, the counter always printing zero. The register contents when viewed in RV Debugger shows the contents to be untouched(all excalamation marks!!)..even the cycle counter is not showing its contents.

It would be of great help if you could give some pointers regarding what to check for/what I might be missing out?

Thanks,
Smitha Joseph

    Hi Raghavendra,

    Thanks for your reply. I have been able to set the User Enable Register to 1 using the instruction given in TRM. But still the event counter is giving 0. From the link that I had given in my previous post, I got the impression that the performance counters works on Simulator.

    Has anyone been able to access performance event counters on Simulator?

    Thanks,
