Code Composer Studio is an integrated development environment for developing applications for Texas Instruments embedded processors. Texas Instruments embedded processors include DSPs, ARM based devices and other processors such as MSP430. Code Composer Studio includes a real time operating system called DSP/BIOS or SYS/BIOS. Code Composer Studio or CCS includes support for OS level application debug as well as low-level JTAG based development. CCS is based on the 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 in 1997[1]. After the acquisition, Code Composer was bundled with a real-time kernel named DSP/BIOS[2] 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.
