Hi
I am using _itoll(TSCH,TSCL) method to find out the DSP cycles consumed my encode process call.
I am different values for the cycles consumed, even though Ideveloping a custom H264 encoder on DM648 platform. On several occasions, I have obtained haven't modified my source code. Some times it increases to the order of 25,000,000 cycles and this causes frustration while optimizing. After probably resetting the custom board few times , I am able to get back the original cycles consumed. I am confused at this behaviour.
Is TSCH,TSCL counters are reliable? Or do I have to suspect my hardware?
Pls reply.
Best Regards
JK
