CCS5v3, profiling, using printf(), for terminal output into CCS console

Hello,

I posses TMS320C6748LCDK V5, JTAG XDS100v2 and CCS5v3.

I need to analyze the time severity of my program and its parts and usage of CPU to know which parts to optimized. My idea was using timer and printf() of its value, but CCS has probably some tool to do it more exact and elegant.

Can you point me how to do that?

Thank you.

  • Petr,

    I am not 100% sure, but did you hear about System Analyzer? This is more involving than simply flipping a switch, but it usually contains a whole set of debugging and monitoring features that will help you monitor what is going on in your system.

    A more low-level approach (and not as flexible) is to use the Debugger to set breakpoints and use the profiler clock to count cycles. However, the breakpoints disrupt real-time processing on the device.

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael
