hi, I am working on TMS320C6416, and am using CCS version 2.20.0. I am unable to get the cycle counts When I am running any application on the board. I have tried copying a project, which was giving cycle counts while running in the simulator, and running it on board. The results are matching but still unable to get the cycle count display. Is there anyone working on 6416 boards?

Hi, How are you trying to measure cycle counts ? Using clock ? Else try using TIMER_getCount supported by the CSL. Hope this helps.

Hi, As Ganesh indicated, you need to use the Chip Support Library for getting cycles counts on the hardware. With the simulator, clock() calls give you an idea of the cycle counts, they are not accurate in many cases. If you have been using load6x, it assumes a "flat" memory model and you are going to loose cycles required for off-chip memory accesses, etc. TIMER_getCount() gives an accurate count with a 1/8 resolution (1 count = 8 CPU cycles). You can take a look at SPRU887, Sec 2.2, Page 5 to be more specific, there is some sample code on how to use the CSL for this purpose. I haven't used this with CCS2.20.0, but it just works fine for me with CCS2.10.0 with the C6416 hardware boards. Cheers!

Hi, As Indrajit has pointed out, it is always better to use CSL, but one shld remember the resolution. I want to add something to the discussion. If you feel that your program / code thats being profiled will take only a few hundreds of cycles, I think it is better to go on with the clock() as it is more accurate than the CSL supported Timer_getCount() because of the resolution of the TIMER. However if you are trying to profile a huge function, say an entire application, I think you will be better off using the CSL function as this provides accurate count on these matters.But you shld take care about the count differences in case of repeated profiling, especially when the counter reaches the maximum period and resets to zero. If this countered, you shldn't have any problems.

hi, Thanks for the reply. The application that i am working in right now is highly time critical. I can't afford to add libraries to the code since it will blow up the code size and in turn shall reflect in the cache misses. Instead I am looking for the clock cycles in the view window using break points. Is it possible to get the cycles without adding the said libraries? regards Saiju ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ganesh Vijayan" <> To: <>; "Indrajit Chakrabarty" <> Cc: <> Sent: Friday, May 30, 2003 9:29 AM Subject: Re: [c6x] Cycle counts on CCS Version 2.20.0 on board > Hi, > As Indrajit has pointed out, it is always better to use CSL, but one shld remember the resolution.
