For more information about the built-in L2 event monitoring capability, refer to “Implementation details”
in the
Functional Overview
chapter of the
CoreLink Level 2 Cache Controller L2C-310 Technical Reference
Manual
, available on the ARM website (infocenter.arm.com).
In addition, the L2 cache events can be captured and timestamped using dedicated debugging circuitry.
For more information about L2 event capture, refer to the
