  • Only a limited number of the Cortex-A8 counters can be selected at the same time. In the black bar that says Cortex-A8, it says 0 of 4 are available to be selected. This is because 4 counters (plus Clock: Cycles) are already selected under Events to Collect. If you remove one of the events there (Branch: Mispredicted, Cache: L2 access, Cache: L2 miss or Instructions: Executed) you will be able to select a different counter.
