Nios II Profiler

Hi all,

I try to take Program Profile.

I did ...

- check "Link with profiling Library" on IDE sysytem library's property.

- Build Project

- Launch Nios II command-line shell

- type following 3 commands

- "nios2-download -g --cable USB-Blaster hello_world_0.elf"

- "nios2-terminal -c USB-Blaster --gmon"

- "nios2-elf-gprof hello_world_0.elf > prof.txt"

Anyway, I could get the result... but is this right way..?

Does anyone tell me more clever way to take Profile on Nios II? (IDE only if possible).

Thanks for any help.

    Hi koma,

    I believe you have it correct. Using gprof from the IDE has been formally requested and has been passed to the Nios II IDE engineering & marketing groups as a feature request; as with any feature this will have to be prioritized along with other new features for coming releases.
