CCS Recompiles everything way to ofthen....

Again I am using the 5509A DSP, with CCS4.0x or 4.1x...

Every time I exit CCS and then reenters and immediately hit the debug button, everything needs to be recompiled ("refreshing workspace"). I can at this point NOT send the process to background, so I have to wait. And this takes over 5 minutes on a fast computer 

This is just one example of when CCS finds iittt  nnneeeeeeeedddddddddssssssss tttttttttoooooooooooooo sssssssslllllllloooooooooowwwwwwww     dddddddooooooowwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn......

What do we do????

  • Hi Terje,

    Will you please let me know which exact version(s) of CCS you are using? We had found and filed a bug in CCS v4.0.x regarding forced recompiling for all files when only the BIOS file was modified which was fixed in v4.1.1, but I have not personally seen or tested the behavior you mention.

    You can go here and search for Bug number SDSCM00034618 to see the related bug. If you see the same behavior in v4.1.1 (or higher) please let me know.

  • Hi

    I have the same issue. I'm using CCSv4.2 and every time CCS crashes (and it did it 3xs today), I re-compiles EVERYTHING. Whats most painful is how long it takes to compile the configuration. Arg.

    I can't figure out why EVERYTHING has to be compiled again: especially the configuration. I am not editing anything in the configuration when it crashes. (crash meaning the status bar goes on FOREVER and I have to use the task manager to kill it).

    As per the crash, I'm making a code change in a .c file, compiling and loading it via the XDS510PLUS onto a EVMC6472.

    This bites!

     

  • Also checked SDSCM00034618. It is not the same problem.

    (had another crash this morning so thought I'd write this while waiting for CCS to re-compile the whole darn thing again)

    Cheers

  • And another crash.

    I ran to a breakpoint. Edited the file. Hit rebuild, and this popped up

    "An internal error occurred during: "CCCS Debug: updating breakpoints".

    and a the build progress bar that never competed.

    I selected "run in background", closed the "An internal error...." popup, and now it won't let me build anymore.

    So I closed down CCS by clicking on the "x" button, then I got the dreaded

    "Saving workspace" that NEVER COMPLETES

    Had to use the Windows Task Manager to kill it. ARG!

    Back to waiting for CCS to rebuild THE ENTIRE PROJECT AGAIN
