Gator.ko fails to build about gator HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi

gator.ko has been deprecated since 2019.1 and removed since 2020.0. It is not required; instead you can use gatord on its own.

DS5 5.29.2 contains Streamline 6.7 which was released in July-2018, whereas kernel 5.4 was released on 24-Nov-2019. The later is not expected to support the former.

Our recomendation is to update to the most recent version of DS, but if for some reason that is not possible, you may be able to resolve this issue yourself by:

• You should be able to modify the offending gator.ko sources by backporting modifications made in a later version of gator.ko. The last version to contain gator.ko was 7.1.
• You may be able to modify version 7.1's gator.ko sources to run with gatord from DS5 5.29.2; Modify https://github.com/ARM-software/gator/blob/7.1/driver/gator_main.c#L11 setting #define PROTOCOL_VERSION <X> where should match the version currently defined in that file (either 670, or 671).

Thanks for your quick reply Ben. I switched to the latest version of ARM Development Studio and I used the gatard demon to get the profiling data.

I am able to connect using this daemon, but I am not getting any vertex and Fragment processor information in the graph. How Can I enable to get vertex and fragment processor information to debug Mali 400 Graphics applications?

Ah, i see. If you are using Mali 400, you will need to stick with gator.ko. We don't support such old GPU in recent versions of Streamline. In this case, the best option is to use DS 2019.1, available here https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/embedded/arm-development-studio/downloads and being the last version to support gator.ko and therefore Mali 400.
