Instruction number test

[aybarskizilay]

Hi

I am new in Xtimecomposer tool, and I am working on the timing analyze. I am able to see how many instructions have been created for my program in the "Disassembly" window in Analyze Timing.
However, I want to know how many instructions have been executed for my program.
Can anyone help me about it?

One way to see instructions executed is to run pieces of code in the functional simulator

Either select Run on simulator in xTIMEcomposer's run configuration and specify Trace to in Simulator tab

Or run

Code: Select all

xsim -t binary.xe

on command line

That worked pretty well for me in the past. If you are in a unix environment, it is very strong in combination with tools like grep and wc

If you are looking for a breakdown of how much time different functions are taking to execute then you could follow the instructions on this post: Using xsim to create a profile/call graph.

Also, if you want you can run xsim tracing directly to a file with:

Code: Select all

xsim --trace-to trace.txt BINARY.xe
