Translation - Japanese: PSoC Creator：FATファイルシステムバリアントでプロジェクトをビルドすると、リンクステップがスキップされる – KBA222526- Community Translated (JA)
Question:
Why is my build reported as successful but the link step skipped while building a project on a FAT file system?
Answer:
The PSoC® Creator™ build system relies upon file creation/modification timestamps to determine the steps of the build process that need to be executed. In a FAT file system, timestamps have a granularity of 2 s or 10 ms (depending upon the FAT file system variant). Both of these are too long to avoid a situation where the newly re-compiled object files are perceived by PSoC Creator to have their old build times. This results in the build system skipping the link step but still reporting a successful build.
Because of this, two things may happen if you modify the project and then build the project:
- During the link step of the build process, the output window shows “The link step is up to date, no work needs to be done.”
- The firmware does not exhibit the behavior corresponding to the modifications that you made.
This behavior occurs with new and existing PSoC Creator projects.
As a workaround, use the rebuild functionality in PSoC Creator to build the project.
