CCS/TDA2PXEVM: CCS: ARM A15 cache miss & profiling

Part Number: TDA2PXEVM

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

HI,

I want to do cache analysis & profiling of code running on cortex A-15mpu of TDA2PX board. I have already gone through this pdf:- http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/spruhm7b/spruhm7b.pdf  which clearly states (1.2 Software and Hardware Requirements) that with XDS560v2 Pro, the Trace Analyzer present can be used for: multicore DSP, AM335x, OMAP3, OMAP4, OMAP5, Cortex-M3, and Cortex-M4 devices. So:

1) is there anything which can be done to do Trace Analyzer for A15 with the same JTAG & CCS.

2) if not then is any other software which can be used to do this analysis on the board during runtime.

 

Regards

Surbhi

    Surbhi,

    The cache analysis is dependent on the device's hardware and therefore can't be easily "added" to a device or core. That is unfortunately the case with the A15 cores of these devices - they lack the features present in the TI's DSPs for Cache Analysis. 

    In this case, unfortunately we don't offer any cache analysis for the cortex A cores in our current software development products. Sorry. 

    Regards,

    Rafael

    Hi, Rafael

    Can you please tell me about this:

     2) if not, then is any other software (e.g kcachegrind ) which can be used to do this analysis on the board during runtime?

    Refer to: 


    A15 has some registers to monitor cache performance.
