Code Composer Studio is primarily designed as for embedded project design and low-level (baremetal) [[JTAG]] based debugging. However, the latest releases are based on unmodified versions of the [[Eclipse (software)|Eclipse]] open source IDE, which can be easily extended to include support for OS level application debug ([[Linux]], [[Android (operating system)|Android]], [[Windows Embedded]]) and open source compiler suites such as [[GNU Compiler Collection|GCC]].

Early versions included a real time [[Kernel (operating system)|kernel]] called [[DSP/BIOS]] and its later inception SYS/BIOS. Currently, the successor to these tools, the [[TI-RTOS]] embedded tools ecosystem, is available for downloading as a free plugin to Code Composer Studio.

== History ==

{{advert section|date=August 2023}}

Code Composer Studio was first developed under the name Code Composer by the software company GO DSP, located in Toronto, [[Canada]], which was acquired by [[Texas Instruments]] in 1997.<ref>''[http://www.ti.com/corp/docs/presshistory/company/1997/c97093.shtml TI Press release]''</ref> Following its integration with a real-time kernel known as DSP/BIOS, Code Composer was rebranded as Code Composer Studio.<ref>''[[SYS/BIOS#History|History of SYS/BIOS]]''</ref>

CCS releases up until 3.3 were based on a proprietary interface, but TI was already working in parallel on the development of an [[Integrated development environment|IDE]] based on the open-source [[Eclipse (software)|Eclipse]]. This IDE was named Code Composer Essentials (CCE) and was designed for the [[MSP430]] line of microcontrollers. Beginning with release 4.0, all new versions of CCS would use an interface based upon Eclipse.
