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.

    I am sorry. It is "without an external hardware".

    I will actually be needing a model which can do a cycle count and energy profiling for the ARM7 core. I came to know that, an RVISS emulation can be run on a RVDS4.1 professional suite for ARM7 core. But the problem is RVDS does not have evaluation version.  I think if I can have a RVDS4.1 suite , them I may be able to do an energy profiling for an ARM7 core.

    Please Correct me if I am wrong.
