Setting up the Kernel Profiler (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
Depending on the profiling mode and options that you want, you might need to perform some configuration before you run the kernel profiler. This is because one of the three profiling modes, instrumented kernel profiling, requires a special build of the run-time image in order to include support for profiling. Another mode, Monte Carlo profiling, lets you implement optional OAL support to improve the timing accuracy of the profiler interrupt.
The amount of configuration that is required also depends on whether you want to use the CeLog logging engine to collect profiler data. To use CeLog, you might have to start a CeLog collection tool. However, not using CeLog requires additional configuration of the OS design on which the run-time image is based.
