Intel® VTune™ Amplifier XE and Intel® VTune™ Amplifier for Systems Help

Preparing a Target Linux* System for Energy Analysis

Note

Energy analysis with the Intel® SoC Watch data collector is available for target Android*, Windows*, or Linux* devices and provided only with the Intel® VTune™ Amplifier for Systems.

When collecting energy data on a target Linux device to be analyzed using Intel VTune Amplifier, make sure to:

Install the Intel® SoC Watch Collector

If you need to collect energy data on one system and you wish to view the results on another system, you need to install the Intel SoC Watch collector. If your system already has Intel® VTune™ Amplifier for Systems installed, the Intel SoC Watch collector is already installed and this step can be skipped.

  1. Copy the system_studio_target.tgz package to the target Linux* system using the following command:

    scp system_studio_target.tgz root@<target_IP>:.
  2. Log in to the target system as the root user.
  3. Copy the Intel SoC Watch package to a working directory:

    cp ~/system_studio_target.tgz /home/socwatch/.
  4. Extract the Intel SoC Watch package to the working directory:

    tar -xfz system_studio_target.tgz

Install Drivers

Building and Managing Energy Analysis Driver if they are not already installed or if the driver version does not match the latest version of the socwatch_linux_<version> directory in the extracted system_studio_target directory.
