The Vitis analyzer should be used to view and analyze trace data. After the trace data has been captured either using XRT or XSDB, you should have all the data needed to open the Event Trace view in the Vitis analyzer.

Figure 1. Event Trace in Vitis Analyzer

Open the run summary file with the Vitis analyzer to view event trace data. An example is shown:

vitis_analyzer ./aie_trace_profile.run_summary

Limitations

The event trace feature is an Early Access feature. You might see timing synchronization issues between the kernels on some designs. The execution time between kernels are skewed by some clock cycles for the design.
