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,
I was able to revert the kernel and use the userspace gator. It gave me the options to view Mali counters. Thanks!
I tried running a sample profile but the target (odroid XU3) crashed almost immediately as I started profiling. There were a whole bunch of CPUx reading wrong counter: -1 errors before there was a null pointer deference error. I do remember reading about this issue previously. Let me try to find it. I have attached some logs, in case you are interested.
