Hi, at the moment I'm using DSK6713 with CCS 2.2 on a PIII/600MHz 128MB RAM. I have a C source file with about 2000 lines. To compile it needs about 10 Minutes. Which in my opinion is pretty long. I wonder if it is because of a slow processor, or because CCS asks DSK over USB for permission to continue compiling. In other words is a full CCS 2.2 faster than a CCS 2.2 that comes with DSK? I've read the minimum requirements for CCS 3.0 are: PII/600MHz 128 MB RAM What would those of you who use CCS 3.0 recommend? Gustl

Hello Gustl, This is only an opinion, but I have always gotten marginal performance when I used a machine that barely met a vendor's minimum requirements. Also, compiler optimization, how you count source lines, etc. can make a difference. As a point of reference, I just recompiled a project that I am working on... CCS 2.1, 20 source files, -o0 -ml3 options, a little over 200k of compiled code, Win 2k, 384 Mb ram, 730 Mhz - it took about 90 seconds. It doesn't mean much, but it may give you a vague idea. mikedunn --- Bernhard 'Gustl' Bauer <> wrote: > > Hi, > > at the moment I'm using DSK6713 with CCS 2.2 on a > PIII/600MHz 128MB RAM. > I have a C source file with about 2000 lines.

Hi Jeff, I sometimes get an error that CCS couldn't connect to the DSK board. In this case I can't compile anymore. The only thing that helps is a reboot.

Gustle: If you have problems to connect to DSK, CCS should inform you "Abort","Retry" or "Ignore". If you choose Ignore, you can enter CCS , edit and compile your project. It is not important to succesfully connect to DSK. The compiler is independent of DSK. I think the time you mentioned is mostly depend on the code, build options, and your computer.

Gustl, I have had similar problem earlier. If you just want to *just compile* your code then u can disconnect the DSK and then open CCS. An error dialog will pop up saying no dsk is connected .. ABORT ... RETRY .. IGNORE. .. you can hit ignore and continue with ur normal tasks such as compile and build.. but you wont b able to load ur code. I am not sure tho whether u want to just compile or what. Hope this helps, Tarang On Sun, 24 Oct 2004 10:41:32 +0200, Bernhard Gustl Bauer <> wrote: > Hi Jeff, > > I sometimes get an error that CCS couldn't connect to the DSK board.

Some other group members have let me know offline that for DSK C6713, CCS 3.x does check for the DSK board during compile. It is a new "feature". For lower CCS versions, or DSK C6711, choosing 'Ignore' is still Ok. -Jeff > On Sun, 24 Oct 2004 10:41:32 +0200, Bernhard Gustl Bauer > <> wrote: > > > > > > Hi Jeff, > > > > I sometimes get an error that CCS couldn't connect to the DSK board.

Shucheng, this is true. I seem to always hit the wrong button :-( I always thought the DSK board is a kind of dongle for CCS. But this also shows that my computer is way to slow.

Jeff: I am not familiar with CCS3.x. Do you mean it's a feature of CCS 3.x? or CCS3.x with DSK6713? thanks!

Hi Shucheng Wang I wonder if we're not having 2 versions of CCS talked about. I have the CCS 2.2 that comes from Spectrum Digital with the C6713 DSK and the "Ignore" button is not an option when it starts up. Also, when it's running the thing will halt if you unplug the USB cable and not give you the "Ignore" option. No chance to edit anything. The Full 3.0 will run without the board as I expect the full V2.2 will. -Al --- In , "Bernhard 'Gustl' Bauer" <gustl@q...> wrote: > > Shucheng, > > this is true.
