Hi, Normally Keil µV2 creates a hex file during less than a second. My newest project is my first project whose hex file contains more than one KB of data. After booting my PC creating this hex files does also take only about a second. But if I want to compile the hex file a second time I must wait more than a minute. So I cannot change the program without rebooting my PC if I do not want to wait a minute (and rebooting does also take time :-( ). What can I do against this problem? Thanks!!!
This is probably not the problem since you say that it is fast the first time and slow after that but it may be something to think about. If you have anti-virus software running it may be scanning the object files as they are being written to disk which could slow things down. We configure our McAfee software to exclude file extensions that uv2 generates. We have noticed a huge difference in the speed of our builds since then. -Walt
@Walt: I am using Norton AntiVirus. I have excluded all file extensions that I could find in the project directory but it still does not work. Even so I want to thank you for your recommendation to exclude the affected file extensions. Until I read your reply I had not known about this feature!
