XDC tools incremental build

TI experts-

We're using command-line build, basically following the diagram on this page:

  http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/How_is_SYS/BIOS_related_to_XDCtools_and_RTSC%3F

We have our own Makefile (not using gmake).  We've noticed that XDC tools (xs) always runs and re-generates several files; i.e. there does not seem to be a check whether our configuration/platform files have changed.  This slows down the build process.  Is there a file or command-line option we can modify to avoid running XDC tools if no RTSC platform or config file changes have been made?

Thanks.

  • Jeff,
    XDCtools does check if relevant files changed, and does not rebuild anything unless needed. However, there are different commands in XDCtools that you could be invoking and different build setups, so it's hard to tell what should be happening without seeing some of your files.
    Can you post your Makefile, and also can you tell me if you are using xdc.tools.configuro?

  • Sasha-

    Yes you are correct.  The problem was on our side, having to do with a non-standard filename extension that we were using.  Now our build process is more streamlined.  Thanks.
