Hi,

Please confirm if the SoC used is K2HK

Hi all,

root@k2hk-evm:~# dsptop -r 1 -f txt -o log.txt -d 1 -n 100
dsptop: unrecognized option '--0'

Usage: dsptop [dhlmnpqrsSvy]
See "man dsptop" for more details.
 --delay/-d <value>              Set the screen refresh rate in seconds (fractional seconds ok).
 --format/-f <text|csv|gnuplot|gnuplot_wxt>
                                 Set the --output file format for DSP usage data, default is text.
                                 A file extension (.txt, .csv, .gp_cmd & .gp_dat) will be appended
                                 to the filename selected with --output. Selecting gnuplot_wxt will
                                 also launch gnuplot with a wxt terminal to plot DSP usage data.
 --help/-h                       Display help.
 --logging/-l <first|last>       Enable DSP message logging to stdout. DSP messages are captured in a
                                 circular buffer. Selecting "first" will write the DSP messages from
                                 the first full trace buffer to stdout and terminate dsptop. Selecting
                                 "last" forces the trace buffer to operate as a circular buffer in which
                                 case the logging data is written to stdout when dsptop is terminated.
                                 Use --output to select a file for logging rather than stdout.
 --maxoutfile/-m <value>         Set the max size in bytes for --output files (default is 0 - infinite).
 --number/-n <value>             Set the number of screen update iterations (default is 0 - infinite).
 --output/-o <filename>          Select a file for logging (-l) or usage data (-f).
 --resolution/-r <value>         Set plot resolution in seconds (fractional seconds ok).
 --process/-p                    Switch from continuous DSP run/idle time accumulation to
                                 single DSP process run/idle accumulation. Run/idle time
                                 will stop advancing on exit of the current process and
                                 resume when the next process starts.
 --quiet/-q                      Send all stdout to /dev/null except logging data.
 --sample/-s <value>             Set the moving average sample window in seconds (fractional seconds ok).
 --sync/-y                       Enable sync (used by dsptop_sync script).
 --version/-v                    Display version.

                                 Ask a question or report a problem at e2e.ti.com.

On using the dsptop -r 1 -f txt -o log.txt -d 1 -n 100 command, it is showing unrecognised option, is the syntax which I am using is correct?

Or is there any issue in the command usage?

We are facing this issue as well in some of the EVM's

Sravaya,

Rajarajan is working on your query. He will get back to you soon.

Thanks for your patience.

Hi Sravya,

There might be an issue with the "arago-base-tisdk-image-xxx.tar.xz" but NOT with the "tisdk-server-rootfs-image-xxx.tar.xz". This is because that the arago-base-tisdk-image does not contain all the packages needed by dsptop.

Kindly try with "tisdk-server-rootfs-image-xxx.tar.xz". I am also trying in those in parallel.

Thanks,

Rajarajan U

Hi Sravya,

I missed pointing out, The "arago-base-tisdk-image" and "tisdk-server-rootfs" were part of TI Processor SDK Linux (URL: https://www.ti.com/tool/PROCESSOR-SDK-K2H , Version: 06.03.00.106 ).

The files mentioned above were present in the"Filesystem" folder in the SDK.

Thanks

Rajarajan

Hi Sravya,

I have tried with "Processor SDK Linux for K2H (Version: 06.03.00.106)" and checked whether the "dsptop" works with the "tisdk-server-rootfs-image" which comes with the SDK (already built).

My observations are, dsptop command doesn't work, earlier I mentioned "dsptop" command might work, But I could confirm it does not work with "tisdk-server-rootfs-image" too. 

Thanks

Rajarajan

Hi Rajarajan,

Thanks for the reply.But how could we be able to resolve the issue with dsptop command.

Or is there any other command to check the DSP core utilization?

Kindly let us know.

regards,

Sravya

Hi Sravya,

Will check and update, ASAP.

Thanks,

Hi Sravya,

I have tried to compile, the "dsptop" from the latest source, "https://git.ti.com/cgit/sdo-emu/dsptop/".

From this following observation made,

dsptop -r 1 -f txt -o log.txt -d 1 -n 100 - there was an error in the command line argument, "txt" should be "text", hence this error "dsptop: unrecognized option '--0" showed up.

1. I have modified the Makefile to keep the compiled binary in "release" folder instead of "/usr/bin" folder, due to error.

1. "dsptop" depends on "debugss" kernel module. It needs to be enabled.
   1. But, Compiling "debugss" from source throws an error, kernel modules missing "/lib/modules/4.19.94-gbe5389fd85/build" (since the Processor SDK uses this (4.19.94) version of kernel.

I will update you on the findings further.

Thanks & Regards,

Rajarajan U

Hi Rajarajan,

Thanks for the update. Please keep us in your updates on dsptop issue.

regards,

Sravya

Hi Sravya,

Could you able to compile the "debugss" kernel module with the kernel version that you have been using?

I have been using kernel: 4.19.94, One that comes with the SDK Linux. (Just to check whether we were using the same kernel)

Thanks,
