Abstract:
1. An energy profiling apparatus for profiling power consumption characteristics of self-executable application code under development being executed at an integrated circuit being powered by a power source and having a measurement module, a data processing module and an external resource, comprising: a first interface configured to receive a first data set from the measurement module corresponding to power consumption of the executed code; a second interface configured to receive a second data set from the data processing module corresponding to trace data of the executed code; a third interface configured to transmit a third data set to the external resource; and a profile module configured to correlate the first data set with the second data set such that changes in the power consumption of the executed application code correspond to changes in the trace data of the executed application code, and generate an energy profile of the application code executed at the data processing module based on the correlation between the first data set and the second data set, the profile module further configured to transmit the energy profile as part of the third data set to the external resource.
