very long compile/build time for examples

[maxieaussie 0]

HI I am simply compiling/building an example project (multiwebcam) but it is taking hours on Windows 10 through MSYS2 with 4 GB of mem and AMD Radeon 1.2 Ghz . While thi is a relatively low spec machine I do no expect hours just on this? I have never used nuttx before. Any idea? @CamilaSouza

Another issue is once connected to the serial terminal these errors that seems to be "fatal"
up_assert: Assertion failed at file:wireless/gs2200m.c line: 897 task: lpwork

Hi, @maxieaussie-0

I haven't used MSYS2 personally, but I've seen other users here on the forum also experience long build times with it.

The performance is much better on Ubuntu or Windows 11 with WSL2.
https://developer.sony.com/develop/spresense/docs/sdk_set_up_en.html#_setup_for_windows_11_for_wsl2

We don't officially support WSL2 on Windows 10 and I haven't tried it myself either.. But I've seen resources online teaching how to install WSL2 on Windows 10. So maybe you can give that a try?

If you do and it works, please come back to this topic and let me know

@CamilaSouza I've just tried hello world, that super simple example took 48 minutes lol. Thanks for the tips, I have a spare machine and will install ubuntu as you suggested (I am actually more of a linux/unix person)

[CamilaSouza]

@maxieaussie-0 That's even better. I use ubuntu myself too

@maxieaussie-0 I see your are back to the gs2200m?

I also currently work based on the multiwebcam. A modified version (added asw-iot, webclient, cJSON, some drivers for i2c sensors)
clean compiles in 70s, recompiles in 25s and cleans in 25s on a Mac Mini 2018.
This is what you can expect from Ubuntu, I guess.

However

• you need to manually add the -j to all make commands incl. the make clean to achieve this. -j is still no default

And I think for a recompile (just added a newline to a file) this is too long.

@CamilaSouza Since the latest SDK release around March, opening the configuration Window in VSCode takes about 3 Minutes! VSCode asks me >5 times if I want to kill the workspace. Before this release it was about 30 seconds. In my opinion the current time is not acceptable anymore.

Other thing ...
@maxieaussie-0 You probably need to increase some stacks? I also experienced crashes (latest after using ssl). There are different defaults (2 vs 8KB) when you have your task defined to autostart and when you start it via nsh.

Also the finding the correct configuration for the gs2200m was not straight forward as the documentation was misleading for me (should I use DNS via nuttx or via gs2200m??)

This is what worked for me

• create an autostart script according to https://developer.sony.com/develop/spresense/docs/sdk_tutorials_en.html#_start_up_script

Example

gs2200m ssid password &
sleep 1
renew wlan0
ifconfig
ntpcstart
date
# birdCam

This is my current config (for reference if it helps)

make savedefconfig

@jens6151-0-1-1 Thank Jen! My original plan was to simply use as an http client uploading image files only to a web server (using POST) but I thought I will check out this example first. Yes I am still getting that crash with "Assertion failed at file:wireless/gs2200m.c line: 897 task: lpwork"

@maxieaussie-0 with ubuntu it takes 2 minutes for the webcam example which is what I expected! (still getting the same crash though). I noticed my Windows machine was running low in disk space . This could be a factor that slowed down MSYS2 as well

[CamilaSouza]

Hi, @maxieaussie-0

Did you try @jens6151-0-1-1 tips about increasing stack and correct configuration?

[CamilaSouza]

Hi @jens6151-0-1-1

Thank you for letting me know about the longer time for opening the configuration window on VS Code!

Let me investigate this one.

[maxieaussie 0]

@CamilaSouza I am already happy with my ubuntu but will try too later (got dragged to do another thing) thanks!
