Ok, I have tried this following the above steps on the 20110216/natty-preinstalled-netbook-armel images for omap (beaglexm) and omap4 (panda) with the latest updates. On the beaglexm it produces a report, however on the panda it does not. The panda image currently uses 2.6.35-1101-omap4 kernel.
Other experiments I tried: panda with nosmp kernel parameter (disables 2nd cpu): same results panda with 2.6.38-1202 from kernel-team ppa: same results The expected results look something like this (see http://paste.ubuntu.com/570812/ for the complete output from beagle XM): CPU: ARM Cortex-A8, speed 0 MHz (estimated) Counted CPU_CYCLES events (Number of CPU cycles) with a unit mask of 0x00 (No unit mask) count 100000 CPU_CYCLES:100000| samples| %| ------------------ 193159 70.4929 no-vmlinux 22737 8.2978 libxapian.so.22.2.0 20779 7.5832 libc-2.13.so . . . What panda produces is only this: error: no sample files found: profile specification too strict ? I am currently waiting on the 2.6.38-1204 kernel to finish building and will test it, but my expectations are low. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/702999 Title: oprofile failure on panda (omap4) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
