2.4.1 Configuring Profiler
Profiler has its own section in
peripherals.ami , the ARMulator peripherals
configuration file:
{ Default_Profiler=Profiler
;; For example - to profile the PC value when cache misses happen, set:
;Type=Event
;Event=0x00010001
;EventWord=pc
;;Alternatives for Type are
;; Event, Cycle, Microsecond.
;;If type is Event then alternatives for EventWord are
;; Word1,Word2,PC.
}
Every line in this section is a comment, so the ARMulator will perform its default
profiling. The default is to take profiling samples at intervals of 100 microseconds.
Refer to AXD and armsd Debuggers Guide for further information.
If this section is uncommented, data cache misses are profiled. See Events on page 4-29
for more information.
The
Type entry controls how the profiling interval is interpreted:
Type=Microsecond instructs Profiler to take samples every n microseconds. This is the
default.
Type=Cycle instructs Profiler to take samples every n instructions, and record
the number of memory cycles since the last sample.
Type=Event instructs Profiler to profiles every relevant events, see Events on
page 4-29. n is ignored.
EventMask=mask,value is also allowed (see Tracer on page 2-5).
