Streamline does not work with the latest gator - any suggestions?

Hello!

I have went through the process of starting the kernel space gator on Raspberry PI3B+. Before that, I was running user space gator with Streamline 5.5.29.1 and this was OK. Now, when I started the Streamline I got an error that the gator is version 680 and that I need to upgrade Streamline. Which I did - to 5.5.29.2 but it still has the same issue.

How can it be that gator is now ahead of the Streamline and the latest versions cannot work together?

Any suggestions on how to circumvent this?

Thanks!

  • Hello, DS-5.29(.x) require gator 5.7(.1) - as you can see from the above the version is now 6.8.0, which is the version to support the latest Streamline as provided within Arm Development Studio.

    You could either look to trade in your existing DS-5 licenses for Development Studio (which has all the same features as DS-5, plus much more), or revert to an older version of gator.

    As an aside, you may also find this blog useful.

  • Hi Andrej,

    Ronan is correct the problem is that you are using DS-5.29(.x) which is designed to work with gator(5.7). The latest version of gator is now at 6.8.0 and is used with the Arm Development Studio 2018.

    If you are downloading the gator sources from github this will always give you access to the latest version of gator. Instead if you look inside you DS-5 installation you will always find the version of gator that works with your system.

    Gator can be found in: DS-Installation-Directory/sw/streamline/gator

    If you use this gator instead everything should work.

    Hope this helps,

    Stephen

  • Ronan and Stephen,

    Thank you for your prompt responses. Indeed, I got the latest gator from the GIT, spent some time after it started working in the kernel space and then was frustrated that Streamline did not pair with it... I downgraded the gator to the previous version and it now works fine.

    Swapping licenses is not the option for us. I do not need many of the ARM tools, just the profiler (Streamline) which does not come on its own. I was surprised that the DS-5 that was released two weeks ago would not work with the gator from 3 months ago.

    Again, I really appreciate your answers.

    God Bless!
