CCS/MSP430FR5994: How to enable run time program profiling using CCSv9 to calculate FRAM read/ write memory access count, ALU operations, Control flow operations etc

Hi,

Is there any way to do run time program profiling to calculate FRAM read/ write memory access count, ALU operations, Control flow operations etc using CCSv9. I am using MSP430FR5994 connected to my PC using CCS 9.1.0.00010.

Thanks!

Hello,

Profiling options from a pure tooling standpoint is limited on MSP430. The most common tool used is the profile clock:

The profile clock also requires the target to be halted to read the clock value

Some other related threads to look at:
