Code Composer Studio
2 - 4 C2000 Microcontroller Workshop - Programming Development Environment
The concept of COFF tools is to allow modular development of software independent of
hardware concerns. An individual assembly language file is written to perform a single task and
may be linked with several other tasks to achieve a more complex total system.
Writing code in modular form permits code to be developed by several people working in parallel
so the development cycle is shortened. Debugging and upgrading code is faster, since
components of the system, rather than the entire system, is being operated upon. Also, new
systems may be developed more rapidly if previously developed modules can be used in them.
Code developed independently of hardware concerns increases the benefits of modularity by
allowing the programmer to focus on the code and not waste time managing memory and moving
code as other code components grow or shrink. A linker is invoked to allocate systems hardware
to the modules desired to build a system. Changes in any or all modules, when re-linked, create a
new hardware allocation, avoiding the possibility of memory resource conflicts.
Code Composer Studio
Code Composer Studio: IDE
Integrates: edit, code generation,
and debug
Single-click access using buttons
Powerful graphing/profiling tools
Automated tasks using Scripts
Built-in access to BIOS functions
Based on the Eclipse open source
software framework
Code Composer Studio™ (CCS) is an integrated development environment (IDE) for Texas
Instruments (TI) embedded processor families. CCS comprises a suite of tools used to develop
and debug embedded applications. It includes compilers for each of TI's device families, source
code editor, project build environment, debugger, profiler, simulators, real-time operating system
and many other features. The intuitive IDE provides a single user interface taking you through
each step of the application development flow. Familiar tools and interfaces allow users to get
started faster than ever before and add functionality to their application thanks to sophisticated
productivity tools.
CCS is based on the Eclipse open source software framework. The Eclipse software framework
was originally developed as an open framework for creating development tools. Eclipse offers an
excellent software framework for building software development environments and it is
