Compiler Error, run out of MIPS
Thread Summary
The user encountered a 'Run out of MIPS' error when trying to compile a SigmaStudio project for the ADAU1701, despite no recent changes. The final answer suggested deleting readback cells or a less important level meter, which reduced the instruction count from 1020 to 987, allowing the project to compile successfully.AI Generated Content
SigmaStudio project that I've been working on suddenly cannot compile, nothing has changed but now it won't compile. This project has been running in it's general form for some time and is not very large. Now when I try to
compile/link/download I get "Compiler Error. Please contact ADI. System.SystemException: Run out of MIPS: Instruction count is 1020 at Sigma 100_Comp.AssemblyProcess100.Decode(HashtableErrorAndProc) at
Sigma100DSPSSigma100.Cimpile(ArrayList.algorithmarray).
I have uninstalled/reinstalled SigmaStudio and the error persists. The project is attached.
TIA
Hello PBovier251,
As the error says, you are running out of MIPS. Have you had a look at the compiler output file? This file is located in a folder where your project resides.
Please attach your project, we will have a look and see what's happening.

Hi Harish, thanks for the reply. As I said in my post, this project has been compiled/linked/downloaded many times and runs fine, just this morning it won't compile (I haven't changed anything). I (thought I had) attached the project to the OP, here it is again:

Hello Peter,
You are indeed running out of MIPS. Your program used more than 1016 instructions hence it gave you an error. I just deleted two readback cells and it compiled fine. The MIPS used became 1014 after deleting those readback cells. It allows to compile until 1016.
If you need the readback cells for reading the limiter flag, then delete one of the level meters that you think less important. I will have a look if by any chance I can optimize the code a little.

Harish
Thank you, Harish. What was confusing me is the instruction count I got was 905, I don't know why you got a higher number. But I deleted a meter and it compiled with 987 instructions, which verifies your results. Appreciate the help.
