Where is the cycle counter for MIMXRT1060-EVKB？

[yuzu_robocon]

I am developing a project using FreeRTOS for the MIMXRT1060-EVKB board.

After watching this↓ video, I would like to use SEGGER's SystemView.

FreeRTOS Webinar Series: Use Advanced Techniques and Tools to Debug a FreeRTOS Project (SEGGER) | NX...

SEGGER SystemView will use the Cycle counter register value to maintain the time stamp information of events.

Is there a Cycle counter register on the i.MX RT1060?
If so, what documentation is there for the values?

I am having trouble finding it.

Also, do you have a sample project that introduces SystemView code into a project using FreeRTOS?

Hi @yuzu_robocon ,

  Do you want to use the trace function, which like the video:

The video mention it is using the trace function.

And the RT1060 can support the ETM, but the EVKB board JTAG didn't fanout the trace port, so to the MIMXRT1060-EVKB, you can't use the trace function which is support by the related trace tool.

You also can check with SEGGER side support, which detail register the tool use to check the count.

If no trace, normally, we can use the sys tick timer to count the cycle.

Wish it helps you!

If you still have questions about it, please kindly let me know.

Best Regards,
