Software Application Profiling

Hello all,

I am trying to run a software on Zedboard as a "bare-metal" application and I am trying to profile this application. By "profiling", I mean to profile both CPU usage, code coverage, timing and memory usage.

I was able to enable profiling in "Run Configurations", check the necessary option "-pg" in compiler and changed the BSP settings. As a result, a gmon file has been created successfully. The problem is that I am not able to profile any memory usage and timing by right-clicking and choosing "Profiling Tools".

If anyone here were able to implement these tools, could you please help me doing it?

Thank you very much.

Hello Necati,
These two Xilinx documents discuss using TCF profiling in the SDK:
http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/sw_manuals/ug1046-ultrafast-design-methodology-guide.pdf
http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/sw_manuals/xilinx2016_2/ug1165-zynq-embedded-design-tutorial.pdf
If they do not answer your question you will probably reach a broader and more knowledgeable audience on one of the Xilinx Community Forums, as this is really a Xilinx tools question:

Hi Gary,
Although I was able to execute TCF profiling. However, I could not observe the timing and memory usage things as I saw in a SDK environment such as Visual Studio. If I get successful on this issue, I will let the people know following here, shortly.
Thanks a lot.
