I’m trying to install PERF on my jetson tx1 development board. uname -r returns: 3.10.67-g458d45c when i run the perf command I get

WARNING: perf not found for kernel 3.10.67
You may need to install the following packages for this pecific kernel:
linux-tools-3.10.67
You may also want to install one of the following packages to keep up to date:
linux-tools

when I try sudo apt-get install inux-tools-generic it goes through reading package lists and building dependency tree then states: linux-tools-generic is already the newest version.

I dont have a ton of experience in linux but would love to get this tool going. Any help is appreciated.

you can install synaptic package control to determine what packages are available for the kernel you have.

I installed synaptic package manager though linux-tools-3.10.67 is not listed as available anyone know a workaround to get perf going? PerfKit appears to be for gpu and i’m interested in CPU
