This IDE was named Code Composer Essentials (CCE) and was designed for the MSP430 line of microcontrollers. After the acquisition, Code Composer was bundled with a real-time kernel named DSP/BIOS and its name was appended with the word Studio.ĬCS releases up until 3.3 were based on a proprietary interface, but TI was already working in parallel on the development of an IDE based on the open-source Eclipse. Originally Code Composer was a product from a company called GO DSP located in Toronto, Canada, and it was acquired by TI in 1997. Currently, the successor to these tools, the TI-RTOS embedded tools ecosystem, is available for downloading as a free plugin to Code Composer Studio.

However, the latest releases are based on unmodified versions of the Eclipse open source IDE, which can be easily extended to include support for OS level application debug ( Linux, Android, Windows Embedded) and open source compiler suites such as GCC.Įarly versions included a real time kernel called DSP/BIOS and its later inception SYS/BIOS. Ĭode Composer Studio is primarily designed as for embedded project design and low-level (baremetal) JTAG based debugging. It also enables debugging on several subsystems such as Ducati, IVA Accelerator and PRU-ICSS.

Texas Instruments embedded processors include TMS320 DSPs, OMAP system-on-a-chip, DaVinci system-on-a-chip, Sitara applications processors, Hercules microcontrollers, Simplelink MCUs ( MSP432 and Wireless connectivity microcontrollers), MSP430 and Tiva/Stellaris microcontrollers. Code Composer Studio (CCStudio or CCS) is an integrated development environment (IDE) to develop applications for Texas Instruments (TI) embedded processors.
