ROV in SYS/BIOS 6.45 and above

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

We are using CCS 6.1.2.00015, SYSBIOS 6.46.0138, XDCtool 3.32.01.22.

When I launch the ROV, it will get stuck at either "Creating XDC Shel ..." or "Loading ROV recap file ...". It need to take more then half an hour for the launching to finish.

With SYSBIOS 6.45.0.20, they all have similar symptom.

SYSBIOS 6.42.3.35 or below work fine. It will take just 2 to 3 minutes for the ROV launching to finish.

    Which device are you connected to? Does the startup time depend on which ROV views were open when ROV was most recently closed? Depending on task stack size and memory speed, the Task detailed view can take a very long time to launch because it tries to determine the stack depths of all the task stacks by reading the stack memory and searching for the end of a data pattern. As well, the Task module view and Hwi module view try to determine the depth of the Hwi stack.

    No, the startup time does not depend on the ROV view. It depend on which version of SYSBIOS I used to build the project.

    The ROV view is blank view with the firmware out file only, nothing else is select. Once it's started, the time it takes to switch to different view, including the Task detailed view or Task Basic view seem to be reasonable.

    The device is a custom c665x board.

    We had a problem with loading unusually large files before. While loading, we examine the debug sections of the output file to look for constructed SYS/BIOS objects. Here is a Web page with more details, and with a mechanism for skipping the search for constructed objects: rtsc.eclipse.org/.../Runtime_Object_Viewer
    You can leave the file described there empty, which should speed up the ROV loading time in case your output file has a large debug section.
