Another noob question, streamline_me.py

Hi,

I finally managed to create a performance report. I was annoyed by the fact that even if the mobile studio provides a fully fledged I still need to use the command line. I have another noob question: do I actually need to go through the first step? 

c:\Program Files\Arm\Arm Mobile Studio 2023.4\streamline\bin\android>python3 streamline_me.py --lwi-mode=counters --lwi-api=vulkan --lwi-out-dir=c:\PRGDIR\CoreloopRepos\lm_client_android\Profiler\

can I instead just skip it and go straight to streamline ? I wonder this because anyway Streamline-cli is executed on a captured apc.

If not could you please explain what streamline_me actually does?

    Performance Advisor was originally designed for automated CI use cases, and was originally a separate tool. We're in the process of merging the functionality into Streamline, and hope to have full GUI support around middle of 2024.

    Yes, for Performance Advisor the setup part is needed to configure the layer driver that provides the additional instrumentation needed for frame-based analysis.

    Cheers,
