Trace Analyzer - script

Hi Adam,

Yes, you can do this in CCS5.1. Take a look at the scripting example in ccsv5\ccs_base\scripting\examples\DVTExamples\go_trace_profiling.bat. If you want you can also script collecting traces (see go_live_trace_profiling.bat).

Hi,

I've tried using DVTServer to perform Function Profiling.

But I'm stuck on:

profileActivity = debugSession.profileSetup.getActivity("Profile all Functions for CPU Cycles");

It returns me NULL.

If I try to print all available activities (printActivityList()) the list is blank. I've made everything like in the example.

I'm trying to do this in CCS4, but I saw that this version supports DVTServer. Does this should work on CCS5?

Next think is, if I undestand this right,  DVTServer allows profiling during collecting traces (life mode). But what if I have already collected traces in TDF file, and I want to perform profiling on that file (stand alone mode). I can do this in CCS GUI, but what about scripting?

BR,

Adam

Hi Adam,

The profiling setup you mention is the simulator-based function profiling. What you want however is the h/w trace-based profiling which is only available since CCS5.1. Please take a look at the scripting example in ccsv5\ccs_base\scripting\examples\DVTExamples\go_trace_profiling.bat.

Hi Oliver,

I've followed Your advice and I've tried do this in CCSv5.

I've proceed exacly like in ccsv5\ccs_base\scripting\examples\DVTExamples\go_trace_profiling example, but on:

    var traceAnalyzerSession = dvtServer.openTraceAnalyzerSession(outputDir+"\\trace.tdf", outFile)

I got exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/eclipse/core/runtime/IStatus

What might be wrong?

I've installed CCSv5 on other "fresh" machine (where before wasn't CCSv4) and I executed ccsv5\ccs_base\scripting\examples\DVTExamples\go_trace_profiling.bat example.

The same error occurs also on openTraceAnalyzerSession().

Adam,

I can confirm that there's a problem. I'll investigate and let you know.

Oliver
