[[Texas Instruments]] embedded processors include [[Texas Instruments TMS320|TMS320]] DSPs, [[OMAP]] System-on-a-chip, [[Texas Instruments DaVinci|DaVinci]] System-on-a-chip, [[Sitara ARM Processor|Sitara]] applications processors, [[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]] and 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_Android (operating_systemoperating system)|Android]], [[Windows Embedded]]) and open source compiler suites such as [[GNU_Compiler_CollectionGNU Compiler Collection|GCC]].

== Versions ==

===Code Composer===

*4.10 (latest version in 2001). Supported all [[Texas Instruments TMS320|TMS320]] DSPs at that time: C2x, C24x, C3x, C4x, C5x, C54x and C6x. The version for C3x/C4x is still sold by Texas Instruments' partner Spectrum Digital.<ref>[http://www.ti.com/tool/codecomposer Code Composer page at www.ti.com]</ref>

===Code Composer Studio===

*1.x (1999). General release that dropped support for C2x, C3x, C4x and C5x DSPs. v1.3 added support for ARM.

Line 30 ⟶ 32:

*CCS releases up to 2.x were separated per device family, i.e., every device family required the purchase of a separate license and a separate software Each license's SRP was US$3,600.00 (apart from release 2.3, which was about US$4,500.00)

*Starting with releases 3.x, all device families were included in the same license (then called Platinum). The license`s SRP was the same (US$3,600.00). There was a C2x-only limited license that retailed for US$600.00.

*Starting with release 4.x, CCS can be used for free in several scenarios that include development boards, software device simulators and even the use of a standalone emulator named XDS100.<ref>[http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Licensing_-_CCS CCS license page at TI wiki]</ref>. Also, it can be used with a codesize limitation of 16kB on [[MSP430]] devices. This release also introduced the floating license, which can be installed on a server and be used across a company's or university's Intranet at almost the cost of a full license.

**A full license for CCS release 4.x had an SRP of US$1,995.00 and a microcontroller-only license was US$495.00. This microcontroller license covered all [[MSP430]], Stellaris and C2x devices.

**A full license for CCS releases 5.x and 6.x has an SRP of US$495.00 and the microcontroller-only license ceased to exist.<ref>[http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Licensing_-_CCSv6 CCSv6 license page at TI wiki]</ref>.

==JTAG Debug probe support==

Historically CCS supported only [[JTAG]] debug probes from [[Texas Instruments|TI]] - also called XDS emulators.<ref>[http://http://www.ti.com/jtag JTAG emulators at www.ti.com]</ref>. The XDS510-class and the more advanced XDS560-class emulators are supported across all releases, but the new low-cost XDS100-class emulator started to be supported starting with the latest patches to release 3.3.<ref name="XDS100">[http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Xds100 XDS100 page at TI wiki]</ref>

Releases 4.x added support for an updated design of the existing XDS100-class emulator (called XDS100v2) and, in release 4.2, added support for an updated design of the XDS560-class emulator (called XDS560v2).<ref name="XDS100"/><ref name="CCSDownload">[http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Download_CCS CCS releases at TI wiki]</ref>

Release 5.2 added support for the new XDS200-class emulators.<ref>[http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Xds200 XDS200 page at TI wiki]</ref>

Up until release 4.x, CCS supported only XDS emulators. With the integration of [[MSP430]] and Stellaris microcontrollers, support was added for their respective [[JTAG]] debug probes: MSP-FET430 (both parallel and USB versions) and ICDI.<ref name="CCSDownload"/>

Release 5.x also saw the introduction of support for Jlink [[JTAG]] debug probes from [[Segger_Microcontroller_SystemsSegger Microcontroller Systems|Segger]].<ref>[http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/J-Link_Emulator_Support Segger Jlink support page at TI wiki]</ref>
