Help, VTune 2015 profile collection failed in x86 android

[Naux_F_]

Help,

       I used Vtune2015 to profile an android project. It failed just after I attached project process ID. I attached the screen print. Has anyone known this?.

I don't know detail on Android, I had an old example of using VTune to profile Java process from Apache-tomcat but it was not in embedded environment. 

Please post your questions about using tools in embedded system to this forum.

What type of analysis and what device were you attempting to profile?

I've occasionally gotten some failures from a flaky USB connection or other irregular reason where simply trying again works great.  From the text of your included error message however it looks like you've got a corrupted system build image, or are running on non-Intel device.

Thx for yout reply. Type is basic hotspot analysis. The profile is run on Dell Venue 8 7840 and the version of android is 4.4.4.

Looks like known android issue with run-as.

Could you check output from 'adb shell run-as com.intel.vtune id; pm path com.intel.vtune'?
if it is like below then basic hotspots will not be available

output:
run-as: Package 'com.intel.vtune' is unknown
package:/data/app/com.intel.vtune-1.apk

BTW, is it possible root your device? Rooting should fix basic hotspots abd provide advanced-hotspots collections.

Hi, Kirill. I typed the command and the output result is the same as you guessed. By the way, is there any instruction for root Venue_8_7840?
