Is there any documentation on how to use GPROF or VALGRING or similar tool on the WP7702 ? I am running 15.1.0.004 Legato 21.05.0 I am trying to see where my code spends the most time. Thanks ---

You can see here > [@How to use Valgrind on WP76 to investigate memory leaks](https://forum.legato.io/t/how-to-use-valgrind-on-wp76-to-investigate-memory-leaks/5217/2): > > You can try the procedure below on WP76 R13.3: download the yocto source code open ./meta-swi/meta-swi-mdm9x28/recipes-core/images/mdm9x28-image.inc and add the following line: IMAGE\_INSTALL\_append = " valgrind" make the yocto image there will be error to make the yocto.cwe as it is too big.

How about “chmod 777 /tmp/valgrind/valgrind”? Not sure if you need to rebuild according to your FW version R15. BTW, I can run on wp77 firmware R14.1.
