How is Gprof editor supposed to work in STM32CubeIDE?

[yakabmarci]

I am trying to use the gprof editor/viewer within cubeide but it doesn't work, everything just freezes then crashes with no error messages, i also found nothing in the logs

I'm trying to use gprof profiling arm-none-eabi-gprof.exe, i have my code instrumented and got a valid gmon.out file, it is small ~15kb, the file is valid as i can process is manually with gprof.exe and get a textual representation of the profiling data.

However i don't want text output, i want the included viewer in the cubeide, to see in a nice tree view the data, i have the option to open the gmon.out file with the gprof editor but when i do, it asks for the corresponding elf file then after that everything freezes then crash.

 

What am i doing wrong? Is this expected to work at all? Did anyone use it?

found the solution for it

in the settings in "Linux Tools Path" you have to enter the path where your arm-none-eabi-gprof.exe is located

for the prefix: arm-none-eabi-

then all works, file is loaded correctly, can be visualized in the gprof viewer, generate graph and so on....
