Extracting support files

Our SW department is using e2studio for RA and RX based developments and we cope with a problem each time we build a project. Each build undesirably extracts the support files and we don't want to extract them beyond first build when e2studio generates the project.

At the end we have stored source code, including support files, at Git. We have our own external makefiles building from command line or CI. So we basically use e2studio for debug and test purposes. So it's very annoying that each e2studio building internally regenerates the support files, sometimes even with different versions if different fsp packages's are installed. We've checked if it's possible to disable that but we don't find the way to do it. Of course there are work arounds, but it seems logic to think that this regeneration could be disabled.

Thanks in advance,

  • Hi Ignasi,

    I'd like to confirm a point about this question. What kind of files are you talking about here? The support files if extracted should not be added to the project directory.

    So I'm wondering if you are talking about RA FSP generated files.

    Can you confirm exactly what you are describing - we might have an idea to help.

    I'll have a guess here first.

    You can remove the DDSC builder in the project properties - builder preferences:

    This will skip all copying and re-generation/extraction of FSP related files.

    Of course, you could trip yourself up doing this but it sounds like you might be comfortable with this approach.

    If I have misunderstood the use case apologies. Let me know and I'll try again!

    Best regards,

    Mark.
