Hi,
I am trying to profile Mali GPU counters on Odroid XU3 using Streamline. I have downloaded DS-5 Ultimate Edition trial for this purpose and built and run the gator daemon on the board ( using the steps from https://github.com/ARM-software/gator )
1. I am having some trouble with the GATOR_WITH_MALI_SUPPORT=MALI_MIDGARD flags, make does not seem to recognize this option. Without it I am able to compile and run.
2. I am able to see the Cortex A15/A7 stats but no GPU counters are visible on Streamline. Is this related to the previous step?
3. Does DS-5 Community Edition not support Streamline? I initially used that and it said there was no valid license.
4. Is there a way to read/log the GPU counter data on the board itself without using a host PC app like Streamline? If yes, could you please point me to documentation to enable this?
Thanks,
Manoj
Hi Manoj,
The readme contained in the gator git repository should contain sufficient instructions to build gator, but you can also get information within the Streamline documentation from here. Were all the flags (like DDK_DIR) that are mentioned in the instructions set?
With regards to the differences between the editions this will explain more: Features of Streamline Ultimate, Professional, and Community Editions.
Kind regards,Lukas
Hi Lukas,
Thank you for your response. I am trying to follow the documentation you linked. There is an issue with the config file, but I will fix that and try to enable the gator driver with Mali plugins.
The differences between editions link was useful. It says that Community Edition should ideally work, but I am unable to use it as mentioned in the comment to Stephen.
Are you aware of any methods/patches to be able to obtain Mali counter data on the board itself?
