add "Tracealyzer" support for a better debug expirence

Hi ESP32,

Perhapse I just used to check my system load with

Code: Select all

htop
too often. When I debugging stuff on ESP-IDF, I feel blind somethings. I don't know the CPU load, and through not intuitive way know a little about RAM Usage...

Then I figure out there is a tool named "Tracealyzer" from percepio, which just meet my need. After playing around for a while. I realize I need some source code on ESP32 side, which helps to log the trace. But I made some effort to find one. But without luck. :shock:

Can anyone help me about this?

Hi WiFive,

Thanks for your link! I'd spend nearly two hours to dig into the doc. And realize, it actually really imressively powerful what I can do with a JTAG Debugger! :lol:

Perhapse because I'm really new guy in this industry (I comes from Art school, and from Arduino World originally). I am also impressed how "hard" it is to step up the whole tool chain -> gdb, openOCD, Eclipse Plugin, trace modes, trace file translation/or not translation....

It's much "ergonomic" If I can follow some video tutorial like many does in Youtube. I just ordered a JTAG Debugger on ebay https://www.ebay.de/itm/1-pcs-USB-to-UA ... Sw7fRZ4EMI. If if works, perhapse I will make one.

So thank you again for your helps.
