If you want to process the LOG data without a host, another solution is to override vfprintf/fprintf/vprintf/printf and LOG_printf/UTL_error/etc with your own functions. Warning - since you often won't want to format/transfer the data when the call is made, you'll need to store the data in a buffer. Note that 'printf' calls assume the formatting is done immediately; the LOG_* functions generally don't (but are limited in the number of arguments). Typical solution: dump the data into a mailbox, and have a task read and process it. For printf, format into a allocated memory buffer (or pre-allocated), pass into the mailbox, and free the buffer after the process task uses it. Check out the source for all of these; it's included with CCS. -- Randell Jesup, Worldgate Communications, ex-Scala, ex-Amiga OS team

Check the BIOS docs - I know that it is [or used to be??] 4 bytes with the first being a count so that you can unwind the circular buffer intelligently. Keep in mind that the data will not be formatted - the host formats it. Since it is unformatted, you might want to look at LOG_event - I remember that it takes more than one var per entry.

I think the book, er.. PDF is something like the DSP/BIOS Users Guide.

I don't know the format. But if you call printf() a few times and put some basic
stuff there like "0123...ABCD...CCS, WHERE IS MY STRING..." you should be able to
know what it's doing :-)

Thanks, Jeff- Your idea is good, but do you know what is the format of the data structure used by LOG_printf to store the strings in trace buffer? Moreover I read somewhere that to save processing time LOG_printf doesn't format the strings it stores, the formatting work being done by the host. That's why I thought in a lib. Do you know if it's true?

Tarang, Thanks for your help, but our host processor doesn't run Code Composer. In fact it doesn't even run Windows, it's a Motorola Power PC. So what we need would a library containing functions to deal with the log buffer in DSP.

Alexandre- I dont have straight solution.. but you may want to look at audio.pjt file in ur ti directory (its an example project.. sitting at \\ti\examples\dsk6711\bios\audio\audio.pjt ) this project has used LOG_printf also look it up on help section of CCS. and if you written the code and just want to view it on the host then go to DSP/BIOS menu and then click on message log and u will see the log.

Hi Amrut, I used this tool and found it useful. It doesn't give any other performance figures,except for the time-based cache hits/misses for any memory addresses. I think it is accurate enough to the hardware, if you use the same linker command file. IMHO, the inaccuracies of simulator vs. hardware have mostly to do with memory access times/wait states. And the cache analysis too doesn't give you data about that. You can certainly improve the time resolution by editing the simulator config.
