[tracecompass-dev] Viewing BTF traces

[Matthew Khouzam <matthew.khouzam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a little how to for reading BTF traces in Trace Compass.

The first thing to do is import the trace. This can be done by clicking File -> Open Trace... and selecting the btf trace, ending in the '.btf' extension

After that, you should see a textual view of the trace. It shows all the information, but it is not very descriptive.

If you expand views, in the "BTF Analyses" section, you will see a 'BTF View'. Click on it and you will be greeted by the following view.

Navigate around with your mouse or using W - A - S -D navigation. Ctrl-D annotates the selected time range.

That's all there's to it, hope it helps embedded friends!
