This book contains the following chapters:
Chapter one gives you a high level overview of the features in the ARM Profiler and provides information about additional resources.
Chapter two is a guide that steps you through the process of creating an analysis file using the xvid example.
Chapter three describes the process of gathering profiling data using the RealView ICE and RealView Trace 2 hardware.
Chapter four illustrates how to gather analysis data using a Real-Time System Model created using RealView System Generator.
Chapter five outlines the ARM Profiler reporting interface, describes the Summary Report in detail, and shows you how to navigate all of the various report types.
Chapter six focuses on the various table reports of the ARM Profiler. It describes each of the report fields and how to sort and manage the data.
Chapter seven provides a complete look at the code and replay views. the code view shows detailed information about the line-by-line execution and performance of a single function. The replay view provides the full program trace if that option is enabled.
Chapter eight describes the functionality of the call graph and how you can use it to pinpoint bottlenecks.
Chapter nine provides a detailed description of how to use the call summary to explore your code.
Chapter ten shows you how to merge analysis reports into a single file.
Chapter eleven details each of the preferences in the ARM Profiler and how to set them.
Chapter twelve shows you how to setup Symbian for profiling and the steps to profile a Symbian application.
Reference this Appendix for descriptions of each of the available command line options.
Appendix B details all of the keyboard shortcuts in each of the ARM Profiler report types.
Appendix C lists the most common causes for hardware profiling failure.
This book assumes that the ARM software is installed in the
default location. For example, on Windows this might be . This is assumed to be the location of volume:\Program
Files\ when
referring to path names. For example install_directory. You might have to change
this if you have installed your ARM software in a different location.install_directory\ARM
