Re: VisualDSP Extremely Slow

The sort of behaviour you describe is typical of what happens when you are
"watching" a lot of registers. Every time the processor steps, hits a
breakpoint, or changes state, the debugger downloads all of the memory
locations it's watching over the (relatively) slow serial/USB link. This can
slow things right down.

The cure is to only watch the registers/variables/memory locations you're
actually interested in.

you're actually interested in. I would like to add my 2cnts...use CUSTOM REGISTERS.

USB is slow? I can tell by the cable that it's using the 12Mbps
transfer speed.

I'm watching about 20 registers, local variables, and the dissambly
window that just won't stay gone. However, it was just as slow when I
had none of those open.
