Hi guys,

I'm trying to benchmark some code, and I want to count how long TSIM is taking to process some code. To do so, I would need some kind of timestamp that I could get in the beginning and in the end of the process (actually I will repeat the process n times to get the average).

The only time-related function I've found in the docs is the timer (timer_start, timer_stop, timer_value). In theory I guess I could start a timer (big enough), run my code and then check the timer_value and subtract... But I would like to know if there is any other (simple/better) way to do this.

Also, I want to know if it is possible to get the actual time from the ME, SIM card / Operator... Is it?

Thanks!
Diego

timer_() calls are STK, cannot be used for this.

I would recommend to use TL2 and "dbg -t". This prints time stamp for every new line so you can easily get all info you need. Speed is the same for TL2/TSIM/Waver/... (but L1/L2 kernel where the actual debug output takes some time).

For actual time use STK provide_date().

Thanks again pz! The "-t" option solved all my problems

One more question regarding the actual time... When using STK provide_date(), where I'm getting the date from? From the ME?

Thanks,
Diego

Yes, provide_date() ask ME to answer date/time.
