Code Composer Studio 5 performance.

Anatoly Odler

Hi,

I'm encountering the CCS5 IDE performance problems while opening, creating, debugging and editing projects.

For debugging I use XDS100v2 emulator for OMAP L-138, C6748 Core.

Sometimes the IDE doesn't run to main on program load despite the appropriate option is selected.

Generally, the IDE is running in a very unsmooth way, stuck while opening project, stuck while moving from editor perspective to the debug mode.

I'm running it on WIndows XP. I have tested it on two pc's : the same result.

How can I improve the performance? Is there any update or patch for the IDE for that purposes?

Anatoly.

    Hi Anatoly,

    While CCSv5 has improved performance over v4, it is still a heavy product and requires a fairly modern machine with good amount of RAM. If you have an older machine, upgrading it would help (a dual-core or better with 2GB+).

    XDS100v2 is a low cost performance that is also one of the slowest emulators that can work with CCS. Upgrading to an XDS510 or XDS560 class emulator would help a lot with performance when it comes to code download, stepping, and other debug activities.

    There are also a few tips and tricks that can help like keeping the amount of content in your workspace small, turning of the indexer and closing projects that are not used.

    This issue sounds more like a bug than a performance issue. But I have not been able to reproduce it. A test case would help.

    Thanks
