The ‘Update embedded tools’ dialog really gets in the way if you have a slow connection (or loaded server). Can you add an option to run in background please?
If we make it a background operation and you try to build/edit something while the update is in progress, this may cause unpredictable results. We actually use a cloud-based CDN to cache the BSP/EDP updates, so normally they should be downloaded fairly fast. Does it take more time than a minute or so on your machine? Is it about the toolchain update, BSP update or either of them?
My broadband connection can be terrible, and it is slightly annoying to have to wait for VS to become available for use … no biggie. I’ve other things in mind that I’d prefer to see first 😀
