TDA4VM: "DDRSS Register Configuration Tool" takes very long to open

Part Number: TDA4VM

Hi,

When I download the tool, it takes very long until the Excel sheet opens (SPRACU8A_Jacinto7_DDRSS_RegConfigTool.xlsm). 
www.ti.com/lit/zip/spracu8

On my PC it takes ~5 min to load.  But a customer reported it takes close to 45 min on their PC. 

Is there something wrong with the Excel itself? 

Once I save it in 'Excel Binary Workbook' format, it opens within few seconds afterwards.  If this is the solution, can we please change the sheet to this format?

Thanks,
  Robert

  • Hi Robert,

    We are aware that it takes a long time to open. There is nothing wrong with the file - it is just very large with several formulas. The time to open became very noticeable as we duplicated content for new devices that had 2 or 4 DDR subsystems. 

    We will look into using binary format as the default, as well as other optimizations. 

    Thanks,
    Kevin
