Tool/software: Code Composer Studio
On Tuesday the 17th of April all developers on my team experienced a huge slowdown when compiling a program in CCS.
The compile time went from ~30 seconds for the entire program, to 10-20 minutes for a rebuild of the program. The compilie process seems to compile one file, then hang for ~20-30 seconds, then compile a new file.
This is common for all projects on all computers, both running Windows 7 and Windows 10. We are currently using Version: 6.1.3.00033 of CCS, but we downloaded and tried compiling the projects on CCS8.0.0.00016_win32 with the same problem..
We are behind pretty strict firewall, but I've configured the proxies in Preferences/General/Networks connections for HTTP, HTTPS to our companies proxies, but that didn't help.
I've tried adding the workspace folder, /ti/ folder where everything from TI is installed and specific folders /ti/ccsv6/utils/bin, /ti/ccsv6/compilier/our_compiler/bin, /ti/ccsv6 to exclusion from our anti virus. if there are any specific folders I have missed, please let me know.
The only workaround we have found that works is to disconnect both from the Internet. Then the programs compiles as they used to.
From a couple of older threads, I've found that CCS tries to connect to the some specific sites during compile.
Disabling the TI error parsers is not an option, as having the warning and errors appear in the Problems window is pretty useful (they appear even though Internet is disabled)
Is there another workaround to speed up the compile time?
