Two questions:
1. Where can I find the detailed explanation of ARM PMU events?
2. How to know the stall cycles for e.g. icache miss etc.?
Thanks.
Hi dmazuelos,
Thanks for your reply.
As to the second question: how to know the stall cycles for e.g. icache miss? Take event 0x001 (Level 1 instruction cache refill) as example, can I know the percentage of event 0x001 within one time duration (for example 5s)? Or can I know how many cycles are occupied by event 0x001 with that time duration?

Hi Alex,
the PMU measures the number of every event. So you cannot get the event cycles but get event percentage.
