CCS: Function Profiling feature in CCSv6.0

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

EVM : TDA2x

Processor : ARM Cortex A15

Emulator : Blackhawk USB560V2 System Trace

1. How to use PC Trace for analyzing stalls.
2. Is Function profiling feature available with CCS v6.0 ?
3. if function profiling is not supported in CCS v6.0, is it possible to have cache miss details, cycle stalls using trace analysis in CCS v6.0?
4. Are there any chances of different PC traces generated if same executable is executed multiple times?

Thanks & Regards,

Nagananda Shet

    Hello,

    I recommend you update your CCS version. CCSv6 is quite old and no longer supported.

    This is not supported for all CPUs. For example, I don't think this is available for A15

    Not via "CCS Function Profiling". But it should be supported by "Hardware Trace Analyzer"

    Again, this varies depending on the CPU and I don't think this is available for A15.

    There is always a chance depending on the application and the input vectors for it.

    Thanks
