Performance Monitor (perfmon) example

(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)

Overview

This example illustrates usage of perfmon APIs to monitor and profile functions. The example will calculate performance statistic for simple test function. The simple test function could be exchanged to one from the user.

The example contain test function that will be executed with perfmon component and collect CPU statistic. The test function will be executed 200 times in each test case. The first test case collect statistic from all available performance counters, and second test just from defined in the list.

How to use example

Hardware Required

Example should be able to run on any commonly available ESP32 development board.

Configure the project

idf.py menuconfig

Build and Flash

idf.py build flash monitor

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
