Hi all,
I'm using Realview3.1 Debugger connected to ARM1176JZFS core. I want to know the total no of cycles for my code. when I 'm connectiong the debugger with  "Default page table" option enabled, the cycles that I got from cycle count register is less than the cycle count that I got  without enabling the "Default page table" option.  I don't know whether  to enable thr option for calculating the total cycles. Can any one help in this regard. Thanks in advance.

Thanks & Regards,
M. Raghavendra

    The default page table option starts the simulator with the MMU (or MPU) pre-enabled.  It saves you writing your own MMU/MPU initialization code, which is useful for quick tests.  It is the MMU/MPU which controls what is cacheable, so having these pre-enabled can have a big impact on performance.
