performance counter

Hi,

How can I use the performance counter without using the SOPC builder?

I will just explain what I'm trying to do , so it'll be eaier to understand///

I created ring Oscillators on my fpga and I wish to know their frequency

automatically and write it into file ( do I really have to use SOPC builder in order to do that???)

thanks...

    Really all you need is a counter. I usually make my own performance counters but I use them in SOPC Builder for the stuff I do. Shoot me a PM with your email address if you want to take a look at what I usually use to measure software performance down to the clock cycle.
