Original question:

CCS/TMS320F28335: CCSv9.0.1.00004

CCS/TMS320F28335: CCSv9.0.1.00004 Not responding while building code with compiler version 18.1.1.LTS (Windows 10)

Part Number: TMS320F28335

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

Previously I had issues with CCSv9.0.1.00004  not responding during builds and at other times (see https://e2e.ti.com/support/tools/ccs/f/81/t/796771).  That seemed to be fixed by increasing the Java VM memory.  However, for that issue I was running CCSv9 on Windows 7.

Now I am using Windows 10 and the issue is appearing again.  I think it only happens during builds (Compiler: 18.1.1.LTS).

After the build starts, CCS stops responding immediately. 

Has anyone been having this issue with Windows 10?

Thanks,

Stephen

    Hi Stephen,

    Windows 10 is used quite extensively at TI and by our customers, so it would help to have more details about your environment and circumstances under which this issue happens.

    - Does the build just take a long time to complete, or does CCS become totally unresponsive during the build?
    - Does the build eventually complete? If not, what happens when you kill the build - any errors?
    - Are any other errors displayed by CCS? 
    - Is this behavior exhibited when building any project or just a specific one?

    I just noticed it is happening on Windows 7 now with two different projects. CCS becomes unresponsive while building the project.

    I think it is happening the same way on Windows 10. I just didn't allow the build to complete because it was taking too long.

    There aren't any other errors displayed by CCS.

    In addition,the task manager shows that Code Composer is using over 1 Gbyte during the build.

    Also, another issue is Remote System Explorer Operation starting after/during the build sometimes. I have complained about this before. Why does that happen? It is happening right now, immediately after the build.

    Furthermore, the task manager showed that the memory allocation for CCS kept going up during the build. It went up to 1074Mbytes. I have never seen it go that high before. It went down slightly to 1056Mbyes after Remote System Explorer went away, but it is not going down anymore.

    I ran Java VM garbage collection, but that didn't affect it. Actually, it went up slightly when I turned on Show Heap Status.

    CCS memory keeps increasing for a while after it is restarted and stops increasing at 772Mbytes.  Is that normal?  That seems like a lot of memory.

    Hello Stephen,

    <<< Now I am using Windows 10 and the issue is appearing again.  I think it only happens during builds (Compiler: 18.1.1.LTS).

    How huge JVM heap size do you have? Usually 2 GB is enough.

    <<< I just didn't allow the build to complete because it was taking too long.

    On my old laptop with Intel i5 CPU some builds, like OpenThread with full optimisation, take more than 20 minutes.

    Nothing special with it.

    I know cases when some compiler needs more than 10 GB of RAM.

    This issue was not occurring with CCSv6.2.

    The Java vm heap size is set to 2048M.

    I am using a i5-6300U 2.5GHz.

    I just reinstalled CCSv6.2 and built the project. I am not having the same issue with CCSv6.2.

    The code builds in about 1minute and task manager showed CCSv6.2 was only using around 460MBytes of memory after the build.

    Also, I didn't need to increase the Java VM heap size, which has a default size of 768M.

    This seems to be an issue with CCSv9.

    Stephen,

    Ok, so my understanding is that the problem is specific to one or two projects, happens on both Windows 7 and 10 on CCS 9.0.1, but not on CCS 6.2. And the Java heap size is set to 2048M. Is that correct?

    Have you tried disabling the indexer to see if it has an impact?
    Is there any anti-virus running and if so, could you try disabling it?

    Are you able to share one project that demonstrates this issue so we can see if the issue is reproducible at our end?

    If that is not possible, could you please generate thread stack dumps when CCS hangs and attach them here? The procedure to generate stack dumps is described here: e2e.ti.com/.../659011

    The Java heap size for CCS9.0.1 is 2048M and the Java heap size for CCS6.2 is 768M.

    I am not able to disable the antivirus.

    I am going to continuing working with CCSv6 for a while. I get back to debugging this issue when I have more time.

    Thanks.
