A power evaluation tool for a system on a chip is disclosed. The tool includes a power profiling plug-in module executed by a processor on the chip to collect a snapshot of register data of components on the chip associated with power consumption by the system during a certain time. The collected register data is streamed to an external computing device. A data parser module receives the streamed collected register data on the external computing device. A spreadsheet generator module creates a spreadsheet of the collected register data. An interface module displays a graphic representation of the collected register data on a display.
