Original question:

Hardware Trace Analyzer

No entrys on Hardware Trace Analyzer menu

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TM4C1294NCPDT

Hello

We have an XDS200 debugger and a TM4C1294NCPDT device and try to run a interrupt pooling out of the Hardware Trace Analyzer menu but there are no entries.

We tried it in CCS 10.4 and 11.1.

We are running a TI-RTOS application with external hardware interrupts.

We configured the debugger in the target configuration in both SWD Modes (TDO pin and UART port).

Debugging is working.

Any advice how to us the hardware trace functionality?

Kind regards

René

    At some point between CCS 9 and 10 the "Hardware Trace Analyzer" menu option in CCS for SWO trace (i.e. Cortex-M) devices was renamed to "Code Analysis". This also confused me at one point.

    See SWO Trace for some instructions which have been updated for CCS 10.

    Chester is correct. For newer CCS versoms, the SWO trace functionality has been moved to the new "Trace Visualization Toolkit (TVT)" under the "Code Analysis" menu. 

    Note that not all devices with trace support the new TVT. For those older devices, the Hardware Trace Analyzer can still be used.

    Hello Ki

    unfortunatelly there is no "Trace Visualization Toolkit (TVT)" entry

    I didn´t find any information if the our Tiva ist supported for the TVT.

    You wrote " For those older devices, the Hardware Trace Analyzer can still be used." - How?

    Thanks

    "Code Analysis" is menu item for the TVT. If the Code Analysis menu is empty or only has an option to "Open Trace File", then TVT is not supported. If TVT is supported, then you would see addition options such as "Event Analysis" which is for SWO Trace.

    If there are no valid options under "Code Analysis" but trace is indeed supported, then check under "Hardware Trace Analyzer" menu. If that is supported, then there will be additional options under that menu

    I believe Tiva is supported by TVT. For an example of how to use TVT for SWO Trace, see the below document:

    https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=AAHa7.TEWJdAcHX00IcWtA__FUz-xrs__LATEST

    Note that it is for connectivity devices, however it should give you an idea of how to use the TVT.

    Thanks

    Thank you very much. That works for me:

    "Select Tools → Code Analysis → Event Analysis to launch the Configure Event Profile"

    Kind regards
