I've been running the snapdragon profiler on OSX El Capitan and I'm having some issues. But before digging into the issues I have some improvement proposals for finding root causes of performance problems quicker:
- it would be really helpful to be able to see all textures that went into the draw call. If the texture was bound somewhere way earlier, there is no relevant glBindTexture() call attached to the calls ending up to a draw call and it takes quite a while to track down what textures are going in
- same would go for a used shader program. If it was bound earlier, it'd be nice to show it
- same applies to tex parameters to see whether mipmapping was on/off, bilinear/trilinear enabled etc. (these ones especially may be super hard to track as they may have been set at load time)
- same applies to depth test mode and blending mode
I guess you could argue that any GL state prior to the draw call would be helpful info, but at least the above would help quite a bit.
OK. Now to the issues:
Issue1: the USB connectivity doesn't work at all. The profiler waits on the "connecting" forever. Wifi connection works though to certain degree. This is probably a El Cap issue? I can see these in the console:
error: cannot bind to socket
error: cannot bind to socket
(though they are present on Wifi connection as well and it seems to be working)
Issue 2: certain metrics (like the GPU clocks) on first draw call of first snapshot seem wrong. It's showing way bigger number than on subsequent calls. HW perf. counters not reset before this call?
Issue 3: some of the shader programs are not readable. The program is known by the profiler, but there is no vertex shader (source) and fragment shader (source).
Issue 4: The snapdragon profiler crashes on one level of the game I'm profiling with this on the console on OS X:
I: GLESPluginProcessor received a BUFFER_TYPE_GLES_CAPTURE_SCREENSHOT from GLESDataProvider that it doesn't know how to handle it yet
I: GLESPluginProcessor received a BUFFER_TYPE_GLES_FULL_DCAP from GLESDataProvider that it doesn't know how to handle it yet

Hi jvaarala,
Thank you for your feedback, I'll try to reply as best as I can:
The first feature you mention is certainly very valuable and actually already exists within the "Resources" window, there is a toggle at the top of the resources list that if activated, will only show the resources bound to the given drawcall including Textures, Programs, VAOs, etc. etc.
Looking at depth and blend mode and all GL context for that matter is also available within the "Options" window on the "GL Context States" item of the top most combobox. That will show the full GL context which will be updated per drawcall when you double-click the drawcall you are interested in.
Issue 1: Can you try methods suggested in https://developer.qualcomm.com/forum/qdn-forums/software/snapdragon-prof... please?
Issue 2: I just did a quick test with a few apps and the first drawcall metric looks feasible here but we will have our engineers try to reproduce with a broader set of apps.
Issue 3: By any chance is the program binary? if that's the case no source would be attached to it so we wouldn't be able to show it in Snapdragon Profiler. If it's not binary could you please share some pseudo-code on how is the program being loaded? perhaps it's a case we haven't handled properly yet.
Issue 4: I have a feeling the crash might have to do with a texture format that isn't handled yet. By any chance is the app you are profiling public or on the playstore so we can take a closer look at it?
I hope I didn't miss anything. We really appreciate your feedback and if you have more ideas for enhancements and improvements they are certainly welcome!
Wow.. The formatting in the 'disable rich text' mode was awful. Let's try this again.
Hi Carlos and thanks for the feedback. I'll have to try the toggle at the resources window once I get this working again. For some reason I can't use the wifi any longer for this (ADB drops the 'tcpip' connection immediately after I remove the USB cable).
Issue 3: it might be a binary you are right. We are using Unity and all of that code is hidden for sure.
Issue 4: I'll PM about it.
Issue 1: I have tried everything on that post you linked to. The problem is not that the device is not found. ADB works fine and I can see it connect to it in the terminal window to upload the snapdragon profiler APK stuff (I suspect anyway that's what it is) and I can see the device in the list of devices to connect to in the snapdragon profiler UI itself with a 'ok' tick. But... when I click the connect button it stays like that forever, I see 200% CPU usage from the snapdragon profiler and eventually my laptop heats up and starts spinning the fans. I see those two error messages on console (when I launch the snapdragon profiler from console window) about being unable to bind to address (I'm assuming it's trying to bound to TCPIP ports that are already in use).
Here is the console output again

They stop after I "force stop" the snapdragon profiler from the Android device.

I face the same problem with Snapdragon Profiler 1.4 and Snapdragon Profiler 1.5 on Ubuntu 14.04.
Profiler Tool is buggy and not clean while connection and closing App( it takes forever).
It discovers the android device over adb. device gets disconnected as soon as I try connecting from the tool.
