Profiling ARM in CCS

Started by Mauritz Jameson June 14, 2013
Ok. I bought TI CCS and created a project. Love it so far....

Here's what I did after creating the project:

1. Run->Debug
2. Tools -> Profile -> Setup Profile Data Collection
3. In the Profile Setup Window I hit the "Activate" button
and the "Active On" field says ARMxx_0
4. I then hit Run->Resume (F8)

After the test is done, I look at the profile. There's a bunch
of columns. Is "Excl Count Average" the cycle count ? If not,
how do I get the cycle count for a particular function ?
How do I get better "resolution" ? I want to see which parts
of the code in a function contributes the most to the total
cycle count for that function.

Thank you.
