Code Coverage and Exclusive Profiler Tool

Can anyone comments on what the "Others" function entails in the profiler report under the "Summary" tab? It is taking up the majority of the cycle.CPU. I have seen it take up from anywhere from 80% to 98% of the total cycle.CPU where the remaining cycle.CPU is devoted to the functions I write.

    The 'Others' portion is the portion of code where no debug information was available, for example this could be portions of code that are in libraries.

    This being the case I believe that 'Others' will also be the idle task if you are using BIOS, so it is possible that though this is running 80-98% of the time it may not actually be using any resources that are available to your code.
