Hi all
I'm developing C on bare metal ARM Cortex (M3) with a very basic custom OS (no Linux) and am attempting to make use of Trace Compass to trace thread states (very very basic threading), specific finite state machines in the code, call stacks (well, instrumented call enter/exit sequence - not full stack - for short sections of executing code to look for optimizations), etc. TC seems like it could be a great boon to us bare metal developers, if I could figure it out. I'm not a Linux or Java developer, so I'm trying to figure out how to bend TC to my will.
I'm successfully putting basic trace info (event timestamp + test events like ThreadRun, ThreadStop, etc.) into CTF and getting Eclipse to import it. I can see the list/table of events and event contents. However the trace views (call graph analysis, critical path, etc.) don't populate like hope. I'm guessing this is because these are tailored for Linux/LTTng and I'm not presenting info in a format it understands. I've also tried to implement custom xml per the "Data driven analysis" http://archive.eclipse.org/tracecompass/doc/stable/org.eclipse.tracecompass.doc.user/Data-driven-analysis.html#Data_driven_analysis in the Trace Compass User's Guide using xml but not having a ton of success. Not knowing what's going on inside Trace Compass it is difficult to know what the elements and attributes do.
Are there any tutorials geared toward me: bare metal embedded guy (non-Linux/Java) who wants to make use of Trace Compass?
Thanks for any help.

I has similar question. I use simple RTOS, and I try add tracing in core (using barectf). I has CTF binary file and metadata file, I can import it in TraceCompass and i can view all event:
Timestamp Channel Event type Contents
07:00:00.000 080 000 channel0_0 isr_enter
07:00:00.000 080 000 channel0_0 thread_ready thread_id=3927689344
07:00:00.000 080 000 channel0_0 thread_ready thread_id=3927689152
07:00:00.000 080 000 channel0_0 thread_ready thread_id=3927688960
07:00:00.000 080 000 channel0_0 isr_exit
07:00:00.000 080 000 channel0_0 thread_switched_out thread_id=3927690624
07:00:00.000 080 000 channel0_0 thread_switched_in thread_id=3927689344
07:00:00.000 080 000 channel0_0 thread_switched_out thread_id=3927689344
07:00:00.000 080 000 channel0_0 thread_switched_in thread_id=3927689152
07:00:00.000 080 000 channel0_0 thread_switched_out thread_id=3927689152
What I should do to see Flow Control grapf (similar to)? What has changed over the year? Is it enough for me to write the correct metadata file? Or I need write additional XML/XSD file? Buck FobbFriend, can you tell us what you did and your success?
Matthew Khouzam, BTF look interested, but it is ASCII text format, and slowly (as compared with CTF). Can I convert my binary CTF files in BTF format?

2- Alas, it's in the code base. But I will drop it here:
