Abstract
An example method of generating an execution profile of a firmware module comprises: receiving an execution trace of a firmware module comprising a plurality of executable instructions, wherein the execution trace comprises a plurality of execution trace records, wherein each execution trace record of the plurality of execution trace records indicates a successful execution of an executable instruction identified by a program counter (PC) value; retrieving a first execution trace record of the plurality of execution trace records, wherein the first execution trace record comprises a first PC value; identifying a first executable instruction referenced by the first PC value; identifying a firmware function containing the first executable instruction; incrementing a cycle count for the firmware function by a number of cycles associated with the first executable instruction; and generating, using the cycle count, an execution profile of the firmware module.
