Magic Leap AOSP Tools

Since Magic Leap 2 is an Android Open Source Project (AOSP) device, we can leverage many of the robust tools that have been developed for profiling, debugging, and testing AOSP devices.

📄️ Radeon GPU Profiler

Radeon GPU Profiler (RGP) is a tool that helps you analyze the performance of your graphics applications on AMD GPUs. It captures a single frame of rendering and shows you how the GPU executes it, including the time spent on each draw call, pipeline state, shader, and memory operation. This document explains how to install RGP and provides an overview about how use it with a Magic Leap 2 device. For more information about RGP, see the official RGP documentation.

📄️ Developer Hud

Developer HUD is a feature meant to allow applications to view metrics related to system performance without being tethered to a laptop/desktop. It should help give developers a good idea of how the system is performing frame to frame. A good time this can be used is when a developer would like insight into the system metrics during underperforming sections of their application. It can help get a broader view of where the problem may be.

📄️ Draw Tracing

Draw tracing is a tool that aids you in understanding how long your draw calls take. The process involves running the tool on the Magic Leap 2 (ML2) device to generate a trace log on the device while your app is running. This captures the relevant app activity in the file. The file is then transferred onto the host PC to view in the browser. The tool used on device is called Perfetto, and when it's run it generates a file called trace.pftrace on the device.
