What tools are available for Adreno?

Adreno Profiler
Adreno Profiler is a PC tool for detailed performance analysis of 3D graphics applications running on Qualcomm's Adreno GPUs. 

The tool connects to a device via USB and provides such information as:
GPU and system level performance metrics
OpenGL ES API call tracing and emulation
Real time driver overrides
Adreno Profiler can be used by 3D content developers to test, debug, and profile embedded 3D games and applications on retail handsets without having to change the application.

Supported chipsets and platforms as of Mar. 2010 are the followings.
WindowsMobile 6.1 and 6.5 � Adreno130 (MSM7x01), Adreno200 (MSM7x27, QSD8x50)
