If performance counters are disabled, this command has no effect.

Parameter 0: base address

2.2.2

Memory Controller Unit Commands

This section contains all of the commands for the memory controller unit.

All address values are provided in the same format: a 2K-aligned base format. The lower eleven bits are ignored by 
CTM, and the address is treated as if all of the bits were zero. These base addresses are used in the address calculation 
of the MC, as described in Section 2.1.4. The base address parameter is:

Similarly, all format parameters are expressed the same way. The format contains the pitch, tiling format, and data 
format of the information in memory to which it refers. The pitch is given in multiples of 4 (the lowest two bits of the 
pitch must be zero). The pitch, tiling, and data formats are used by the MC to calculate an address offset from an (x, 
y) index pair, as described in Section 2.1.4. The format parameter is:
