Message: 49309    Hi All,

      I am using using uclinux-2007R1-Rc1 distribution with the support of oprofile 0.9.1. I am trying to get the profiling result for mplayer application,but i am able to get only for vmlinux.Could anyone please suggest me where i am wrong.

Thanks and Regards,

Message: 49347    Thank you Mike.

  By default oprofile was profiling in timer mode,that time i was not able to create /dev/oprofile/0/enable files.So i did modification and now i am able to create the files but the problem is timer mode is not enabling now,i am getting results using hardware performance monitoring.So could i get any idea how could i enable timer interrupts and nmi interrupt for bf561 in uclinux environment for profiling.

Regards,

This is alot of work to figure out, and right now - it is low on the list of things to do.

Which codec are you interested in? I might be able to just do some quick profiling here with some other tools.

        Thank you very much for the reply.I am using MPEG-4 codec.So please help me in profiling this application, and using mplayer optimized one.

May i know any other tools instead of oprofile to do profilin on bf561.

Thanks and Regards,

      Thank you for the reply.I have gone through that document before starting profiling,i followed the same procedures but not able to get samples.Statistical profiling is for VDSP++.I will try my best to get the results.If you find any results please let me know.

Thanks and Regards,

Message: 49635    Hello Robin,

      Thank you very much for your great help.May i know which profiler you have used to get profiling data for mplayer on BF561 using uclinuxdistR1-Rc3-2007,so that i can try out to get the profiling data.

      The above is the data for encoding which is more complex than decoding,since we are giving the already encoded files(mpeg4 etc) there is no encoding that happens only decoding is required.And we are taking a mpeg file from CF and playing it.

    Would you suggest me what are the modifications needed to make that profiler to work on my target and its version and would i able to get profiling for decoding using this profiler.It will be a great favour.

Thanks and Regards,

pavithra

Hi Robin,

        Thank you very much.So i can use VDSP++ for profiling.Please could you tell me which version of VDSP and JTAG are compatible with BF561. I am using VDSP++ 4.5 and we got JTAG from Analog Devices i.e ADZS-USB-ICE .Can i use it for profiling.

Regards,

pavithra
