CCS: CCS takes too long to build projects

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F6736

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

I'm using the last version of CCS (7.2.0.00013) and sometimes the projects takes too long to build the projects (minutes).

This behaviour is aleatory, the same project compile in a normal time and after some builds start to get very slow.

    Hello,
    Just to confirm - the environment (PC, CCS version, workspace and project (including build options) ) being used is the same every time but the build time can vary greatly? If that is the case, then it is difficult to determine why there is such a discrepancy without a test case. How large is the range of variance?

    Thanks

    Yes, it's the same computer, same CCS, same workspace and same project. I have been experiencing several problems with instability since version 6.2. I recently installed the latest version and the problems continue to arise.

    The range is from seconds when works normal to several minutes (now I'm trying to compile an empty project for more than 10 minutes). I noted that when the problem starts to happen the PC start to slow down other system resources. If I try to open the "task manager" pressing "Ctrl+Shift+Esc", the window takes a long time to appear, even with the processing load under 10%.

    Can you try the following:
    -clean your workspace: processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Troubleshooting_CCSv7
    -disabling the indexer: software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/training/CCSv6-TipsAndTricks.pptx (see slide 36)

    Thanks

    Hi Ki-Soo Lee,

    I tried the tips and also reinstalled the CCS following the steps in the link, and after this I created a new workspace , but the problem persist.

    I have noted some strange behaviour:

    - Projects without the driverlib can be build without problem and delay.

    - The build process in projects using the driverlib (I'm testing with the MSP430F6736) is very unstable. Sometimes the project build withou any problem, but after few attempts it stops to build the projects

    - When this happens other softwares are affected and stops to work (the browser open but is impossible to open some website).

    - Some archives related to "gmake" are detected as virus by the antivirus (Mcafee Total Protection), but just when using the driverlib.

    - Even disabling the antivirus the unstability still ocurring.

    It's being impossible to test and develop something with this problems.

    Thanks.
