Kernel Profiler (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/5/2010
The Kernel Profiler is a debugging tool that you can build into the Windows Embedded CE kernel. The kernel profiler collects various information, such as the amount of time spent in each function. You can use this information to assess the performance of a Windows Embedded CE-based OS on a target device. The specific performance information collected by the kernel profiler is determined by the mode in which the kernel profiler runs.
To use Kernel Profiler from Windows Embedded CE, you must first connect to the target device with Platform Manager. For more information about how to connect a remote tool to a target device with Platform Manager, see Remote Tool Connectivity.
