I'm trying to measure CPU load using TRACE32. I'm able to save the results as .ad files. But I need to reload them into the tool again to view. How to interpret .ad file (without the involvement of TRACE32)? I couldn't find any format for that file. If I could get a log out of it, it'd be great
TRACE32 .ad files are a proprietary file format, not intended to be loaded and interpreted by other tools. In order to interface with other tools, use the Trace.EXPORT command group to export the trace data.
In order to measure the CPU load, you can also use the measurement features buildt into TRACE32, like the Trace.STATistic commands.
