CCS/CC1352R: Simple peripheral application build in Debug mode and Release mode

user6319636

Part Number: CC1352R

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

SDK: simplelink_cc13x2_26x2_sdk_4_20_00_35

CCS: Code Composer Studio 10.0.0

I have built simple peripheral application for Debug and Release mode respectively. But I can't find any difference built in these two mode. I refer to TI documentation and it says as the following:

1. The Debug build configuration usually has no optimization and full symbolic debug enabled, to enable easy debugging.

2. The Release build configuration will often have optimization enabled and symbolic debug disabled, to get your code as small or fast as possible without the need for source level debug.

Actually, I don't know what it really means. But I check the Build Configurations in these two mode and I can't find where is the difference. At the same time, I compare the output files size between these two modes but it seems the output files size is almost the same. Can you give me some suggestions? Thank you very much.

Hi,

You can find the exact difference if you compare the .map file for the two build configurations. Please note you may need to Rebuild the project (or Clean and Build).

Hi,

I will upload the compile information(text file) in these two modes(Debug and Release) and the .map files for the two build configurations. In my opinion, there is no big difference between them. Can you confirm these two difference? Thank you very much.

Hi,

Sorry I was mistaken.Pleas compare the following files:

- simple_peripheral\Tools\ble_Release.xscfg

- simple_peripheral\Tools\ble_Debug.xscfg

Hi,

I see some differences(about some different configurations) in these two files. Thanks. That is to say, though the output files size in these two build modes are almost the same, I can still use the default debug configuration and default release configuration for our own custom firmware. I don't need to modify the release build configuration and just use the default release configuration. Is my understanding right? Thank you very much.

Hi,

Yes you can use the debug build configuration if you wish. However please double check all error handling to make sure your application does not end up in an assert or spin lock unecessarily.
