From now onwards, please take the prefix "excellent" to my evry reply for your posts by default. One thing that is interesting here is the level at which these tools work. If we move in the hierarchy, application->kernel->HAL->Hardware, I guess the tools like Kernel tracker dig just "below" the kernel and scrape off bits of kernel and processor interaction. Hope it makes some sense!

Thanks Gursharan. Actually I would say that the tools are just at the kernel level, or in some cases the application.

I have used Kernel Tracker recently - great tool! You say that all modules being profiled need to be in ROM, but I was using it to see what an application was doing (relative to device drivers & interrupts). The application was being loaded from a CompactFlash card, so it definitely wasn't in ROM. Admittedly the threads of the app just had thread IDs to identify them (not thread function names like those in the OS), but it was useful for app debugging nonetheless...

Actually to use Kernel Tracker, the modules don't have to be in ROM. That's only for the Monte Carlo profiler. Yeah the thread names are the main thing that you lose in Kernel Tracker if your application is not in ROM. For what it's worth: Starting from about CE 5.0, the readlog.exe desktop-side tool has a "-fixthreads" parameter that'll make it spit out a new log with fixed-up thread names. It parses the .map files from your release directory to get the symbols to make thread names.

Now that Remote Call Profiler and some of the other tools have been removed from VC 2005 is there any way for ISV's to do performance analysis for their applications running under Windows CE? I really wish I had this program. It seemed to exactly what I needed.
