Program cache layout cannot be seen

It once did show a window (which is similar to "Function Coverage") had L1P... some column, but it has no data. I cannot get that window anymore now unfortunately.

When I press the "Enter control point location..." row, a message pops up:

What is wrong?

Hi,

I find that optimization user guide mentions the following procedures to prepare the profiling. My question is that How and where to run pdd6x? Because in phase two it requires a PRF file, where to name that file?

3.8.1.1 Phase 1: Collect Program Profile Information
In this phase the compiler is invoked with the option --gen_profile_info, which instructs the compiler to add
instrumentation code to collect profile information. The compiler inserts a minimal amount of
instrumentation code to determine control flow frequencies. Memory is allocated to store counter
information.
The instrumented application program is executed on the target using representative input data sets. The
input data sets should correlate closely with the way the program is expected to be used in the end
product environment. When the program completes, a run-time-support function writes the collected
information into a profile data file called a PDAT file. Multiple executions of the program using different
input data sets can be performed and in such cases, the run-time-support function appends the collected
information into the PDAT file. The resulting PDAT file is post-processed using a tool called the Profile
Data Decoder or pdd6x. The pdd6x tool consolidates multiple data sets and formats the data into a
feedback file (PRF file, see Section 3.8.2) for consumption by phase 2 of feedback directed optimization.

The following does talk about ppd6x. Can it run in IDE? Or, it needs command line in Windows 7?  Thanks.

These steps illustrate the creation and use of feedback directed optimization.
1. Generate profile information. (Skeletal debug is on by default.)
cl6x -mv6400+ --opt_level=2 --gen_profile_info foo.c --run_linker --output_file=foo.out
--library=lnk.cmd --library=rts64plus.lib
2. Execute the application.
The execution of the application creates a PDAT file named pprofout.pdat in the current (host)
directory. The application can be run on a simulator or on target hardware connected to a host
machine.
3. Process the profile data.
After running the application with multiple data-sets, run pdd6x on the PDAT files to create a profile
information (PRF) file to be used with --use_profile_info.
ppd6x -e foo.out -o pprofout.prf pprofout.pdat
4. Re-compile using the profile feedback file. Skeletal debug is not required.
cl6x -mv6400+ --opt_level=2 --use_profile_info=pprofout.prf foo.c --run_linker
--output_file=foo.out --library=lnk.cmd --library=rts64plus.lib

Hi,

I find a link talking about command line compiling.

Is there a document describing the environment setting etc. I use Windows 7, 64 bit now. Thanks.
