Hello @sunbo and welcome to the community! :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:

 

How long does it takes before the simulator is running?

How big is your application?
It can take a bit of time to compile if you have a big project. TouchGFX need to generate the assets in the right format and needs to compile your application using GCC (we are limited by GNU capabilities, it cannot go faster by using this compiler).

Was the compilation faster before and got slower or has it always been this speed?

Thank You Gaetan Godart

TouchGFX4.24.0 Examples ：Animated Image Example  -> Run Simulator

"make -f simulator/gcc/Makefile assets -j8 (25 seconds)"

"make -f simulator/gcc/Makefile -j8 (24 seconds)"

These two instructions are the most time-consuming, and the time consumption of other processes is negligible

Hello @sunbo ,

 

Have you been able to move forward with your issue?

I see this effect in 2.24.2 now.
Tried disconnecting internet.
Tried reinstalling 2.24.2 (MinGW binairies).

If I had "-d" to the make, I see that the child process with --jobserver-fds is the process that "hangs", eventually timeout and finishes the make.

CreateProcess(X\sh.exe,X/sh.exe -c "X/make -r -f generated/simulator/gcc/Makefile -s -dr -j --jobserver-fds=gmake_semaphore_XXXX all -C \"c:/TouchGFX/Projects/X\"",...).

@GaetanGodartgot any recommendations to troubleshoot?

Solution was to reformat the whole computer.
