Can mhpmevent13h be accessed from any privilege level?
No. The official CSR table lists mhpmevent13h as a Machine-mode MRW CSR; it exists only on RV32 when Sscofpmf is implemented.

Official Basis & Search Notes
mhpmevent13h is not an independent event selector; it is the RV32 access window for the upper 32 bits of mhpmevent13. It carries Sscofpmf OF and mode-filtering fields.
Sscofpmf standardizes mhpmevent13[63:58] as OF and xINH fields.
mhpmevent13h[31:26] correspond to those standardized upper bits.
The upper event-selector bits remain part of the platform-defined event encoding.
What To Check First When Reading This CSR
- - mhpmevent13h is an RV32-only high-half CSR provided with Sscofpmf.
- - Reading it is equivalent to reading bits 63:32 of mhpmevent13.
- - If Supervisor mode is implemented, the OF bit can also be observed through the corresponding read-only shadow bit in scountovf.
Risk Checks Before Writing
- - Preserve WPRI bits, and do not change EVENT_HI without knowing the platform event encoding.
- - Writing mhpmevent13h changes the upper 32 bits of mhpmevent13, including OF and xINH controls.
Put It Back Into A Real Flow
1
On RV32, read mhpmevent13h to inspect the upper-half state of mhpmevent13.
2
Handle OF or mode-filtering bits as needed.
3
If Supervisor mode is implemented, check overflow state together with mhpmcounter13 readings and scountovf.
FAQ
Should mhpmevent13h and mhpmevent13 be written together?
On RV32, mhpmevent13h reads and writes bits 63:32 of mhpmevent13; accesses to the low-half CSR affect only bits 31:0.
