Energy Profiling of an ARM7 core

Note: This was originally posted on 8th July 2013 at http://forums.arm.com

Hi

I want to make energy profiling and analysis of a ARM7 core. I have some doubts regarding this. May be my doubts are silly.

#1 :: I don't have a development board with myself and so, I intend to make a virtual simulation of the core. I have a DS-5 community edition installed in my windows 7 system.
Please tell me whether I would be able to do a virtual Simulation with an external hardware connected?. I came to know that about the ARMulator. Can it be invoked in the DS-5 for a virtual simulation of a ARM7.? If it can be,what should I do to use the ARMulator.? Firstly , can the DS-5 be used for the above mentioned purpose?

#2 :: How can I test the core by using Benchmark codes like Dhrystone marking in DS-5?

Regards,
RamPrasadh N.

For a simple enough system (ARM7TDMI, synchronous clocking, no cache, no MMU, no interrupts, perfect memory) you might be able to get cycle accurate simulation (without profiling) from RVDS 4.1; but RVDS 4.1 doesn't have any energy profiling features.
