 Below is driver specific information/instructions for the PPS producer.
 
+Freedreno / Turnip
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The Freedreno PPS driver needs root access to read system-wide
+performance counters, so you can simply run it with sudo:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   sudo ./build/src/tool/pps/pps-producer

+Intel

+The Intel PPS driver needs root access to read system-wide
+`RenderBasic <https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/documentation/vtune-help/top/reference/gpu-metrics-reference.html>`__
+performance counters, so you can simply run it with sudo:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   sudo ./build/src/tool/pps/pps-producer
+
+Another option to enable access wide data without root permissions would be running the following:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   sudo sysctl dev.i915.perf_stream_paranoid=0
+
+Alternatively using the ``CAP_PERFMON`` permission on the binary should work too.
