== History ==

Originally Code Composer was a product from a company called GO DSP located in Toronto, ON, Canada, and it was acquired by Texas Instruments in 1997<ref>''[http://http://www.ti.com/corp/docs/presshistory/company/1997/c97093.shtml TI Press release]''</ref>. After the acquisition, Code Composer was bundled with a real-time kernel named DSP/BIOS and its name was added with Studio at the end<ref>''[[SYS/BIOS#History|History of SYS/BIOS]]''</ref> and its name was appended with Studio.

Code Composer Studio releases up until 3.3 were based on a proprietary interface, but Texas Instruments was already working in parallel on the development of an IDE based on the open-source Eclipse. This IDE was named Code Composer Essentials and was designed for the MSP430 line of microcontrollers. This expertise was used to completely overhaul the previous Code Composer Studio and starting with release 4.0 all versions are also based on Eclipse.

Code Composer Studio was originally developed for [[DSP]] development, therefore several graphical and floating-point features were included right from its beginnings.
