"Ignoring2 invalid command" when running Profiler

[bo-dani]

• Qt version: Using Qt version 5.13.2 in /home/dama/Qt5/5.13.2/gcc_64/lib
• SDK version: 4.5.0

I'm trying to run the Profiler against the hello_world example but I'm not able to see any signal outputted when I click on Play. I noticed that the output is different from the tutorial on the website, with a bunch of invalid (empty commands):

Any idea of what is happening? If you need more information or anything please let me know!

Thanks in advance,

HI @bo-dani ,

Sorry for our late reply, and we found the current version of profiler has lots of problems, so we are rewriting a new version, which should be comming soon. Before the release, I suggest you to use the old "vcd" trace mode in GVSOC with gtkwave. You just need to run your example: make all run runner_args+=--vcd Then open the vcd trace with gtkwave.

Here's a blog about how to use it: https://greenwaves-technologies.com/gvsoc-the-full-system-simulator-for-profiling-gap-applications/

We will let you know when the new version is released.

Regards, Yao

Thanks @Yaooooo :)

hi, @Yaooooo , do we have any updates on proiler?

[hustc12]

Currently, when I run the command: make clean all profiler platform=gvsoc under the helloworld directory, then the following error message pops up: bash: profiler: command not found It looks like the profiler hasn't been built. When I build the gap_sdk, I only executed the command: make gvsoc nntool. Did I miss something here?

My QT information is: QMake version 3.1 Using Qt version 5.12.8 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
