Hi Martin,
Thanks a lot.
I have tried to measure and print the performance counter value on as
follows ( i.MX53QSB)
*Trace::Timestamp start = Trace::timestamp();*
* my_funciton();*
* Trace::Timestamp end = Trace::timestamp();
printf("CPU_cyces= %lu\n",(end-start));*
I have tried with *printf(%zu),* *printf(%llu)* and *printf("%"PRIu32) *format
but the maximum number of digits what I can get is 10. I wonder what format
can be used if the performance counter value is larger than 10 digits.
To calculate the elapsed time, I multiply the *CPU_cycles by 1 nanosecod
(ns) / cycle. *Is that right?
Thanks,
