Is vs DEMO in SDK a RTA program?

Jeff Gu

I'm trying to evaluate the core payload for a runtime system. And I know that oprofile/top can be utilized to measure the Cortex-A8, while another task function named "profileTskEntry" can be utilized to test thread level payload. However, the "profileTskEntry" is new in SDK, and I am thinking a way to evaluate it through CCS.

CCS has the tools named "RTA", seems satisfy my requirement. But it can be used only if the loaded program is a "RTA program". When I run the vs DEMO, I can see a prompt ("You connect the CCS now: Press any key to continue.."), seems that we can use CCS even if program is run in Linux.

Could you help confirm? both info of  v05_00_00_09 and v05_00_00_11 are  need.

Thank you

Jeff

    Jeff,

    Here is some feedback I have received...

    Yes, VS demo can be connected to CCS after the prompt “You connect the CCS now: Press any key to continue” in both versions v05_00_00_09 and v05_00_00_11.

    I am still trying to find more out about profileTskEntry.

     

    BR,

    hi Steve,

    Thank you so much for your point out.

    I've tried with my blackhawk Emulator. CCS is proven OK to link with the vs demo, and I can see something in disassembling sub-windows after the Cortex-M3 for VICP is connnected. However, The RTA tools are still grey, which means it is not activated.

    I also read the source code and find the file "omx_05_00_00_11/packages/ti/omx/demos/vs2/ThrLoadCfg.cfg", in which there is some codes related with RTA. I try activate it and run the demo again to see if CCS could use RTA or not, the result is NO.

    As a result, I give up my trial of utilizing CCS RTA tools so far. If you have any good idea, pls let me know.
