CCS/TMS320F28035: Project Build Time Increase Over Time

Valay Patel

Part Number: TMS320F28035
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

We have observed that project build time increased exponential over period of time. Initially we were facing issue as described in thread.  
To ensure performance on fresh system We have build our entire tool chain again and added benchmark for build time. 
We saw that on fresh system build time of project is 4 min. Over time of 4 weeks build time increase respectively to 15 min, 21 min and 46 min. 

We build CCS project using external builder through command line though problem is not limited to command line build. We even tried using IDE and attached screen capture shows build state during stalling.


OS:  Virtual machine with Win7 Ultimate, Service Pack 1.  
CCS  Version: 8.3.0.00009 
Compiler Version: TI v18.1.3.LTS
No Anti-virus running on machine.
 
Can anyone from community guide us? What can cause increase of build time over period of time using external builder?  Slow build is bottle neck for our development cycle. Let me know if anyone needs more info on the above issues

    When this issue was previously reported, as per the referenced thread, we tried a lot of troubleshooting steps, unfortunately none of them led to a resolution. The current situation at your end with a fresh virtual machine appears to be the same and I don't have many new suggestions to offer at this time either.

    One thing that might be worth trying is the latest CCS 9.0.1. You may download and install it from here.

    Few more suggestions:
    - try disabling the parallel build settings (under Project Properties->Build->Builder).
    - make sure Windows Defender and any other anti-virus software is disabled.
    - try increasing Java heap size by changing the -Xmx parameter in the file ccstudio.ini, per this article.

    Also is this project and source files for it under source control? Are these files on a network drive or are they local to the machine?

    Valay,

    I'm curious if there is any additional information from your end regarding the suggestions and questions I posted earlier. It will be interesting to know if any of the suggestions changed the build behavior at all.

    Hi Arti,

    We can not upgrade to CCS 9.0.1 as XDS510 class debug probes are not supported with CCSv9. I tried disabling parallel build and disabling windows Defender. I also increased Java heap size to 1024M, but no change observed on build behavior.

    However cleaning system temp folder improve build performance significantly, we will be monitoring build time for next couple of weeks and update you.

    Thank you for the update.

    The compiler does write to a temp directory during the build process (determined by the system TEMP environment variable) so it is important that the directory have enough free space and has write permissions.

    Do keep us posted on any further updates. Thanks!
