Q: How come there are no activities to enable in the 'Profile Setup' view?
If there are no options available under the Activities list, then it means that CCS profiling is not supported for that target.
Q: What targets support CCS function profiling?
hardware (C55x, ARM7, ARM9)
simulator (C55x, C6000)
Alternatives are to use the profile clock or to use PC Trace on enabled devices
Q: Why is function profiling not supported on C6000 hardware?
C6000 devices are cache based. The standard function profiler in CCS works by setting breakpoints on branches. Thus on a cache based device your profile data will be largely skewed by the extra cycles that occur due to the cache being evaluated. Also on C6000 it is not possible to set more than one breakpoint in an execution packet, however there could be multiple branches in an execution packet which would cause issues with profile data.
For C6000 it is recommended to use the simple profile clock or instrumentation to profile. Alternative you can use PC trace.
