CCS/AM3352: Not able to build projects in CCS,

Part Number: AM3352

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

I am not able to build AM335x based projects in CCSv7.

The project build always gets struck while building the library file "rtsv7A8_A_le_n_v3_eabi.lib".
The build doesn't finish even after 1 hour...

warning #10366-D: automatic library build: using library "C:\ti\ti-cgt-arm_5.2.9\lib\rtsv7A8_A_le_n_v3_eabi.lib"
for the first time, so it must be built. This may take a few minutes.

I am able to build MCU (TIVA C/MSP/CC26xx) based projects but this issue
is only with the AM335x related projects.

I had this issue with windows 7 based PC, thought it would solved with new windows 10 PC,
but same issue with new PC and latest CCSv7.

The build progress doesn't move from 38% as shown below.

In my previous windows 7 PC, the whole computer used to get effected with this issue,
the whole computer operation was getting slow after building the project in CCS.

Please let know, what could be done to solve this issue,
I am bit worried this CCS could damage my new PC also.

Just in case I am attaching install log and workspace log files.

    The runtime library build does take a couple of minutes to complete, but it is unusual for it to not complete even after an hour. I have not seen or heard of this type of issue before. 

    I see that you are building with ARM compiler 5.2.9. To help you move ahead with your development, I am attaching a copy of that runtime library that I just generated on my PC with compiler 5.2.9.C

    However, when you get a chance could you please try the build with a different version of compiler tools (even just the default version that comes with CCS) to check if the version is playing a role here? Also might be a good idea to import the project into a new workspace and try a clean Rebuild.

  • Hi Aarti,

    Thank you for the quick reply.

    I have tried with different compilers(latest CCS version) already.

    I have tried several times to completely uninstall/re-install CCSv7 on my
    new PC, but the issue continues.
    My new PC (Core i7) is also getting slowed after building projects on CCS.
    Don't understand how CCS is related to system's performance.
    Especially it is hurting PCs start-up time, which was just 1 minute before
    running CCS, now sometimes it takes 15 minutes to start-up.

    Today I am trying to build SensorTag sample code,
    it took more than 2 hours, but still the progress is 48%.
    It is taking 15 to 20 mins to build each source file.


    This has become a serious issue which is stalling many projects related to TI,
    please let me know if you any advice to resolve.

    Best Regards
    Paddu

  • Please try below options/solution one by one if you have time, i guess this shall solve your problem.
    1. try to create the new project , take only necessary files, no project files from other work-space and give the compiler option when creating the project.(Usually it asked when we creating the project).
    2. reinstall the sdk with all dependencies.
    3. while installing CCS, antivirus shall be disabled.
    4. if sdk is 32 bit and your host is 64 bit, check if you need any other libraries to be installed (This generally not the issue but i have faced the same for linux and other sdk than yours).

    Thanks,
    Mohammed
  • Paddu,

    I am sorry to hear of the troubles you are having, but it is highly unusual for CCS to have such a huge impact on system performance. I have to suspect something in your PC environment, perhaps a conflict with something else installed on your PC, but I can't point to a specific thing.

    We have recently had some reports of the CCS indexer slowing down the project build and occasionally causing CCS to hang. Disabling the indexer helped alleviate the problem in those cases. Could you give that a try to see if it helps? This post tells you how to disable the indexer.
