Getting ARM Streamline to work with Samsung S2

Hi,

we have performance issues with Mali400 GPU's and need to track them down.

The ARM Streamline tool seems to be very useful for that.

We are using a Samsung S2 (GT I9100) to check here.

If I do the 'adb forward tcp:8080 tcp:8080' and try to connect with Streamline to localhost then I'll get a message: "Unable to receive data from the gator daemon .... ".
Obviously some gator process is missing (checked processes with ps and it's not listed there).

After doing some research, all I found is intructions on how to compile a kernel with a gator module.

I'm developing on a Windows 7 machine.
Even if I would fight through this, there is a step following that needs to start this gator with root rights.

Since I'm using a customer device I don't have root rights and I don't like to root it (let alone the illegal feel of it..).

So my final question is: is this the way? Or did I miss something?


Thanks in advance!

    Manual any help?

    Thanks, but we already took a look at this.
    Unfortunately this requires a lot of getting-into-linux which we don't have time for at the moment.

    As we cannot make sure, the Streamline Tool will really provide the bottleneck information we need, it is too risky and expensive to invest this much time to get it to run.
