How to reduce the compile time when PROFILE_$(CORE) is set to whole_program_debug

Wonhong Kwon

Hi All,

When I set PROFILE_$(CORE) to whole_program_debug in build_config.mk, it takes almost an hour to build.
Is there any way to reduce the time to build with whole_program_debug flag ?

Thanks in advance.

Wonhong,

Could you tell:

1. which SW component you are trying to build?

2. what the version of that SW component is?

Regards,

Hi Wonhong,

The long build time with the whole_program[_debug] build profile is a known issue that has been addressed in newer versions of SYS/BIOS, IPC and XDCTools. BIOS 6.32, IPC 1.23, and XDCTools 3.22 (downloadable at http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/index.html) now offer an optimized 'release' build profile. The whole_program[_debug] is being deprecated in RTSC-based products because of the long link times.
