CCS/MSP430FR2355: Code Profiling Possible?

Part Number: MSP430FR2355

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I'm running an event driven bare metal application on an MSP430FR2355 using almost all of the interrupts. I know I can use the clock cycle counter to see how long certain segments of code are however I would like to profile the whole application and how long it spends in each interrupt and function. I thought I remembered older versions of CCS to have tools to do this, I can't seem to find them in CCS v8. Does something like this still exist?

I'm using CCS v8 with the TI v18.1.4.LTS compiler.

    You are thinking of the CCS Function Profiler. This feature is only available on a select few devices because of the dependency on breakpoints. On smaller MCUs where code is commonly in FLASH (like MSP430), it is not a feasible option and hence not supported. There are other trace based profiling tools that offer similar functionality but none are available on MSP430. 

    The basic profile clock is really your best option for your device.
