Texas Instruments TMS320DM6446 DVEVM v2.0 manual Installing the SoC Analyzer

Installing the Software

4.3.4Installing the SoC Analyzer

SoC Analyzer is a graphical tool that runs on a Windows development host and uses data collected from Linux, DSP/BIOS, and Codec Engine to provide system-level execution and performance analysis for debugging and profiling DVEVM software execution. Follow these instructions to install SoC Analyzer:

1)Insert the TI DVSDK software disk into the Windows development host PC.

2)Browse to the SoCAnalyzer/WinXP folder.

3)Double-click on the SoCAnalyzer_#.#.#.#.exe file to start the installer.

4)Follow the installer’s prompts to install the software.

4.3.5Exporting a Shared File System for Target Access

Although the board’s hard drive contains a file system, during development it is more convenient to have the target board NFS mount a file system on a host Linux workstation. Once you have tested the application, you can store it on the board’s hard drive for a standalone demonstration.

Note: Using video files from an NFS file system may result in a low frame rate when encoding/decoding videos.

Before the board can mount a target file system, you must export that target file system on the host Linux workstation. The file system uses an NFS (Network File System) server. The exported file system will contain the target file system and your executables.

To export the file system from your NFS server, perform the following steps. You only need to perform these steps once.

1)Log in with a user account on the host Linux workstation.

2)Perform the following commands to prepare a location for the MontaVista file system. For example:

host $ cd /home/<useracct>

host $ mkdir -p workdir/filesys

host $ cd workdir/filesys

3)Switch user to "root" on the host Linux workstation. host $ su root
