CCS/LAUNCHXL-CC1310: CCS memory leaks

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-CC1310

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

It seems like CCS leaks quite a lot of memory...

I have one instance currently open with 7GB ram used, and another using 5.4GB ram.

It doesn't use anywhere near that much immediately after starting up.

Are there any workarounds to stop it doing this, or do I just have to assume it's broken and reopen it periodically?

I'm using CCS Version: 7.1.0.00016 for Linux.

    Michael,

    I haven't noticed a lot of leakage on Linux. Can you let me know what device you are using and what features you typically use in a day. I can try those out here and see if I can reproduce the leak.

    Regards,
    John

    I'm using it with the launchxl-cc1310 and I only use CCS for regenerating Makefiles and debugging already running code.

    I use a simple terminal script for picking up debug messages over UART, I use loadti.sh for flashing and I use an external text editor for writing code, so CCS is used for none of these processes.

    I've set it to always stay in debug perspective because it can take up to half a minute to change perspectives.

    While my development system will happily have uptimes of months, I have to restart CCS at least once a week or its memory leak starts causing problems, despite minimizing the amount of stuff I do with it as much as possible.
