My Win10 SDK compile is 10x slower than Ubuntu

[legendbb]

Didn't notice as much a difference when I was on Win7.

Any insight on how to speed up Win10 compile?

Thanks,

Check you do not have a virus,

Check what else is running.

Sounds like a typical windoze machine issue.....

I solved this problem by excluding the Vivado and SDK installation folder from Windows Defender.

• Open Windows Defender Security Center
• Click on Virus & threat protection
• Click on Virus & threat protection settings
• Scroll down to Exclusions, click Add or remove exclusions
• Add folder:  C:\Path\To\Xilinx\Installation

This cut the time to build a basic BSP down from 114 seconds to 23 seconds...much closer to the times we see on Ubuntu!

Hello @legendbb,

you tagged @austin's reply as solution, could you maybe give a hint as to what was the actual cause, respectively solution in your case?

Thanks!

We're discussing the same problem (on Windows 7 x64) in this thread:
