1. A method to perform code profiling for processing devices having a low duty cycle comprising the steps of(1) providing a processing device, having one or more functions with a low duty cycle, comprising a timer, wherein an external memory is connected to the device, and wherein for each function one or more global variables are assigned;

  • (2) starting code profiling;

    (3) calling functions of the device by a main function, determine the duration each function was active and put the duration results into a first of the one or more related global variables, wherein, in case a function was called multiple times, the durations of each call are incremented in its global variable;

    (4) writing at the end of the code profiling, after all function calls are done, the values of the one or more global variables to the memory; and

    (5) reading out the values from the memory.
