Cortex A8 Instruction Cycle Timing

Note: This was originally posted on 17th March 2011 at http://forums.arm.com

Hi) sorry for bad English

I need to count latency for two instruction, and all I have is the arm cortex A 8 documantation(charter 16) !
but I have no idea how can do this work using that documantation(

    To do this check, I intend to create a database as below:
    Instruction...... Cycle......Rd........Rm..........Rn
    Mul......................2...........E5.........E1...........E1
    ...
    When my tool read an instruction, it look up into this database to get the available cycle of each register. However, it seems to be a lot of work for me at the moment :((
    Do you have any other ideal?
    Can you share with me your ideal to implementation!



    I can give you my database, that could help you.
    Download it here.

    (it might have errors !!!)


    The algorithm is quite simple in fact (for the generic case). I even explain it in this post.

    You'll have to work a little bit ;)
