CCS slow performance

James Thorton
Expert 1390 points

Hello, when I am working with CCS in a particular project, I have trouble managing WatchWindow and Memory Registers, i.e., when I am working with them it is very slowly, and for example if I resize the watchwindow to a different shape, it takes long time untill start to respond. Another example, when I switch from a memory register (say McBSP) to another (Core registers) it takes a time too. Similar thing happens when I try to open message log window, it hangs for a while until start to show its values well. What could I check/change to corret this slow behaviour?

 

Edit: by the way, the project (in fact two projects that has this behaviour) is related with EDMA LLD driver of evmdm6437. I am using CCS 3.3.38.2, and Code genetation tools v6.0.8, and bios 5.31.07

 

Thanks in advance

    Usually the slowdowns in the areas you mention are related to the speed of your emulator, for example if you are using the on board emulator on a DM6437EVM it will take a couple seconds to load up a set of memory view windows as it takes time to transfer all the data over the slower JTAG link. There will always be some slow down when viewing large windows of data with CCS but this can be improved by using a higher end emulator, for example if you were using an XDDS560 class emulator instead of the on board emulation you would see a significant performance increase in the memory windows. The downside is that these emulators tend to be fairly expensive, so it is a trade off of debug time versus tool cost.
