2.5.2. Running the brot application in ARM Profiler

This section briefly describes the steps to load and run the brot.axf image through ARM Profiler, including displaying the profiling results. More detailed information on run configuration options is available separately. See the ARM Profiler User Guide.

Note

RTSMs build with System Canvas v4.0, and RTSMs supplied with RVDS v4.0, cannot be profiled with RealView Profiler v1.x.

  1. Start ARM Workbench IDE.

  2. From the main menu, select Run → Open Run Dialog.... This opens the Run dialog, shown in Figure 2.5.

  3. Select the model to run in the Model drop down list. You can choose one of the RTSMs supplied with ARM Profiler, or if you have built your own, use the Custom option.

  4. Browse to the location of the brot.axf image in the Image field.

  5. Set the execution time limit to 60 seconds by entering 60 in the Time Limit text field.

  6. Click Run to start the model running.

  7. When execution stops, an analysis similar to that in Figure 2.6 is shown.
