CCS v5 with XDS560 entering debug mode - endless code rebuilding

Richard Hewitt
Prodigy 40 points

I am engineering a C6414 solution for a customer and am relatively new to CCS v5. The target platform has two C6414 devices and the emulator is an XDS560. Whenever I enter debug mode in CCS v5 I am forced to endure a complete code rebuild (twice - once for each of two target devices!) whether the code needs rebuilding or not. I have examined the build and debug settings and there is no obvious reason for the rebuilding - can anyone shed any light as to what might be going on here - thanks?

    Hi Richard,

    I am assuming you are using the 'Debug As' button (looks like a little bug) on your project. This does a number of steps, including an incremental build. Yes, it should be incremental. So if you did not modify your project at all, it should simply do a check and not rebuild the whole thing. Also I don't know what it is rebuilding twice. Something fishy is going on. I'll need more details to help further. A screenshot or something that gives me more visibility into your environment would help. Also make sure you are on the latest CCS version (CCSv5.4.0 is the current latest). Also describe in detail, step-by-step, what exactly you are doing to reproduce this issue.

    In the mean time, I suggest you start a project-less debug session and then load the program manually to workaround the issue. See slides 10-12 of the Target Configurations training module:

    Thanks
