I am profiling c code on a hexagon simulator with the following tool:
Qualcomm/Hexagon_SDK/3.5.3/tools/HEXAGON_Tools/8.3.07/Tools/bin/hexagon-sim --timing --profile binary.hexagon
The binary is built with the hexagon-clang:
Qualcomm/Hexagon_SDK/3.5.3/tools/HEXAGON_Tools/8.3.07/Tools/bin/hexagon-clang
I am, however, unable to pass command line arguments to my binary when running hexagon-sim
Does anybody know how to do that?
I tried:
Qualcomm/Hexagon_SDK/3.5.3/tools/HEXAGON_Tools/8.3.07/Tools/bin/hexagon-sim --timing --profile binary.hexagon argument1 argument2
Qualcomm/Hexagon_SDK/3.5.3/tools/HEXAGON_Tools/8.3.07/Tools/bin/hexagon-sim --timing --profile binary.hexagon 'argument1 argument2'
Qualcomm/Hexagon_SDK/3.5.3/tools/HEXAGON_Tools/8.3.07/Tools/bin/hexagon-sim --timing --profile 'binary.hexagon argument1 argument2'
But that all just gives the error:
More than one non-option on command line!
(binary.hexagon)
(argument1)
Cannot determine executable - aborting.
You should use -- for that.
Like so:
hexagon-sim --timing --profile binary.hexagon -- argument1 argument2
From "Hexagon Simulator User Guide", Qualcomm doc 80-N2040-17 P:
Running the simulator ... Command switches are used to control various simulator options. A switch consists of one or two dash characters followed by a switch name and optional parameter. Note that switch names are case-sensitive. Switches must be separated by at least one space. The command switch (
--) when delimited by spaces on either side is used to separate the command arguments of the target application from those of the simulator. For example:hexagon-sim --rtos q.cfg a.out -- 10 // 10 is target app arg hexagon-sim --rtos q.cfg -- a.out 10 // alternate form
