CCS running incredibly slowly

Hi,

 

I'm having major issues with CCSv6.2.00050 running very very slowly (and I was also having them on 6.1.2 as well). There were no issues untilthe last couple of weeks - I think the problems may be related to the upgrade that happened around then that didn't seem to work properly. I thought that I had resolved all of that through various uninstalls, deletion of files as advised

 

I want to use simple peripheral as an example to try and bring up some new hardware, but have been doing a build for the Sensortag initally to ensure all is working correctly.

 

The main problem is CCS is incredibly slow to build a project.   The type of message shown in the image below will sit on screen for literally hours before the build will complete.

This applies to both the stack and the application. I've tried creating new workspaces. I've tried re-installing CCS, upgrading it, disabling virus protection, but nothing seems to help. I do seem to get the odd run where things run quickly, sometimes after a reboot, but it's totally inconsistent.

 

CCS is also slow to startup, and very slow to import projects, which I could live with, but the build times render it unusable. The startup/import issues seem to be somewhat similar to those described here: https://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/t/342803#pi316318=3 But I checked and there are no fileinfo elements in the .cproject files.

 

Even the installs seem to take forever. I have a good internet connection but I had to give up on the web installer and move to the full download, which ran very quickly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is causing a big problem for my project schedule.

Regards,

Ross

    Ross,

    We'd certainly like to get to the bottom of this and I'm very sorry about the delayed reply. . Could you please provide some additional details?

    Which upgrade was this? Was it a CCS update?
    Did you uninstall and reinstall CCS after hitting those issues? I'm wondering if perhaps the reinstall was done over an existing installation and there were some corrupted files hanging around.

    If you have the disk space, could you try installing CCS 6.2 to a completely new directory? Do not check for/install any updates to this installation.  Then start up a new workspace and import the example project into it and let us know if the behavior persists. If it does, could you try disabling the indexer for the workspace and let us know if that makes a difference (by going to Window->Preferences->click on Show Advanced Settings->C/C++->Indexer and uncheck the box "Enable indexer").

    Hi AartiG,

    Apologies in turn for my slow reply, I have been travelling.

    So I did manage to resolve the issue but I had to go to the extreme of re-installing windows 10 as I'd exhausted everything else.  I had first tried installing CCS into a new folder, I tried uninstalling completely and starting again, I tried everything I could think of.  If it happens again I shall also try to disable the indexer - you hadn't posted this until after I had done the re-install of Windows.  It is pretty worrying that it could get so broken, but it seems to be resolved now thanks.

    Regards,

    Ross

    Hi Ross,

    Glad to hear that the issue is resolved. However having to reinstall the OS is a bit extreme and I am sorry you had to go to that extent. Please do keep us informed if you ever encounter the issue again and we will do our best to debug and track down the root cause.
