problem about the profiling

Started by Yu Hu June 24, 2005
Hi, dear all

I have a problem when I tried to profile the functional simulator of
CCS3, which is trying to simulate C6416 @ 600 MHz.

The problem is whenever the profiling tools are started by clicking
Tools -> Analysis toolkit-> Advanced ATK control panel, it shows the
error information below Error: Some Coff expected to be loaded...Please load a program before
calling Start

However the *.out is loaded into the simulator already indeed.

Some other information about my simulator configuration is:

gel: dsp641x.gel (actually several of the related* 6416*.gel have all
been tried, the same problem)
dvr: drivers\TiSimC6xxx.dvr

Can anyone here have an idea about what wrong with my simulator?

P.S. does CCS 3.0 support branch prediction profiling result? I mean
whether it can show the branch prediction hit rate or not?

Thanks in advance.

Mmmm... am not sure if you are asking the question the right way,
C6000 does not do branch prediction. C6000 is based on delayed on
delayed braching architecture, the spiritual opposite of branch
prediction(RISC Vs CISC)...Bottom line? No branch prediction in C6000.
