'''Code Composer Studio''' (CCStudio or CCS) is an [[integrated development environment]] (IDE) to develop applications for [[Texas Instruments]] (TI) embedded processors.

<br>

[[Texas Instruments|TI]] embedded processors include [[Texas_Instruments_TMS320Texas Instruments TMS320|TMS320]] DSPs, [[OMAP]] System-on-a-chip, [[Texas_Instruments_DaVinciTexas Instruments DaVinci|DaVinci]] System-on-a-chip, [[Sitara_ARM_ProcessorSitara ARM Processor|Sitara]] applications processors, [[Hercules_Hercules (processors)|Hercules]] microcontrollers, Tiva/Stellaris microcontrollers and [[MSP430]] microcontrollers.

Code Composer Studio includes a real time kernel called [[DSP/BIOS]] and its later inception [[SYS/BIOS]]. CCS can be extended to include support for OS level application debug (Linux, Android, Windows Embedded) as well as low-level (baremetal) [[JTAG]] based debugging. CCS is based on the [[Eclipse (software)|Eclipse]] open source software framework.

== 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|TI]] 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<ref>''[[SYS/BIOS#History|History of SYS/BIOS]]''</ref> and its name was appended with Studio.

<br>

<br>

CCS releases up until 3.3 were based on a proprietary interface, but [[Texas Instruments|TI]] was already working in parallel on the development of an 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. This expertise was used to completely overhaul the previous CCS and starting with release 4.0 all versions are also based on [[Eclipse (software)|Eclipse]].

<br>

Code Composer was originally developed for [[DSP]] development, therefore one of its main differentiators at the time was the availability of graphical visualization tools (XY graphs, FFT magnitude and phase, constellation, raw image visualization) and support for visualizing memory in several [[Computer_number_formatComputer number format|numeric formats]] (decimal, floating-point).

== Versions ==

===Code Composer===

*4.10 (latest version in 2001). Supported all [[Texas_Instruments_TMS320Texas Instruments TMS320|TMS320]] DSPs at that time: C2x, C24x, C3x, C4x and C5x. This version is still sold by [[Texas Instruments|TI]].<ref>[http://www.ti.com/tool/codecomposer Code Composer page at www.ti.com]</ref>.

<br>

===Code Composer Studio===

*1.0 (1999). General release that dropped support for C2x, C3x, C4x and C5x DSPs and added support for C54x, C62x and C67x DSPs.

*2.0 (2002). General release that added support for [[Hercules_Hercules (processors)|TMS470]] (ARM7) and the upcoming C55x and C64x DSPs.

*3.0 (2005). Limited release that supported only C62x, [[TMS320C64x|C64x]] and C67x DSPs.

*3.1 (2005). General release that added support for [[OMAP]] (ARM9, Cortex A8)

*3.2 (2006). Limited release that supported only the new C64x+ DSPs.

*3.3 (2006). General release that supported all device families, and across the years it added support for [[Hercules_Hercules (processors)|TMS570]] (ARM Cortex R4), C672x and C674x DSPs. A limited version for C24x DSPs only is still sold by [[Texas Instruments|TI]].<ref>[http://www.ti.com/tool/ccstudio3 Code Composer Studio for F24x page at www.ti.com]</ref>.

*4.0 (2008). General release based on a modified version of Eclipse 3.2. Dropped support for C24x DSPs and added support for [[MSP430]], Stellaris (ARM Cortex M3) and [[Texas_Instruments_DaVinciTexas Instruments DaVinci|DaVinci]] devices.

*5.0 (2012). General release that uses an unmodified version of Eclipse 3.6. It was hosted also in Linux. Added support for C66x DSPs, [[Sitara_ARM_ProcessorSitara ARM Processor|Sitara]] (ARM9 and Cortex A8) and Tiva (ARM Cortex M4) devices.

*6.0 (2014). General release that uses an unmodified version of Eclipse 4.3. Added support for CC26x and CC32x wireless microcontrollers. Dropped support for C54x DSPs.
