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 Stephen,
Thank you for your response!
I was building gator driver as part of the kernel source. I guess to use the userspace version, I need to revert this change and run the gator as you suggested using the userspace daemon provided from Streamline. (I tried the Streamline gatord with the kernel having inbuilt driver, Mali counters were still not available)
On that note, is there something I need to update on Streamline to update available counters?
Streamline on DS-5 Community Edition said that there was no valid licence when I tried to connect to the board. I did not face this problem with the Ultimate Edition. Now, if I try it again, the licence issue does not exist. It instead tells me that 'Gator version "630" is newer than this program. >> Please upgrade Streamline to the latest version'
I currently have the latest DS-5 CE version available, v5.27. Is there a newer Streamline that I can download from somewhere?
Does the fact that I am using Linux change the on board data logging?
