Environment
(IDE)
Code Composer Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE) that supports TI's
Microcontroller and Embedded Processors portfolio. Code Composer Studio comprises a
suite of tools used to develop and debug embedded applications. It includes an optimizing
C/C++ compiler, source code editor, project build environment, debugger, profiler, and many
other features. The intuitive IDE provides a single user interface taking you through each
step of the application development flow. Familiar tools and interfaces allow users to get
started faster than ever before. Code Composer Studio combines the advantages of the
Eclipse
®
software framework with advanced embedded debug capabilities from TI resulting
in a compelling feature-rich development environment for embedded developers.
CCS has support for all SimpleLink Wireless MCUs and includes support for EnergyTrace
™
software (application energy usage profiling). A real-time object viewer plugin is available for
TI-RTOS, part of the SimpleLink SDK.
Code Composer Studio is provided free of charge when used in conjunction with the XDS
debuggers included on a LaunchPad Development Kit.
Code Composer
Studio™ Cloud
IDE
Code Composer Studio (CCS) Cloud is a web-based IDE that allows you to create, edit and
build CCS and Energia™ projects. After you have successfully built your project, you can
download and run on your connected LaunchPad. Basic debugging, including features like
setting breakpoints and viewing variable values is now supported with CCS Cloud.
IAR Embedded Workbench
®
is a set of development tools for building and debugging
embedded system applications using assembler, C and C++. It provides a completely
integrated development environment that includes a project manager, editor, and build
tools. IAR has support for all SimpleLink Wireless MCUs. It offers broad debugger support,
including XDS110, IAR I-jet
™
and Segger J-Link
™
. A real-time object viewer plugin is
available for TI-RTOS, part of the SimpleLink SDK. IAR is also supported out-of-the-box
on most software examples provided as part of the SimpleLink SDK.
A 30-day evaluation or a 32 KB size-limited version is available through
.
SmartRF™ Studio is a Windows
®
application that can be used to evaluate and configure
SimpleLink Wireless MCUs from Texas Instruments. The application will help designers
of RF systems to easily evaluate the radio at an early stage in the design process. It is
especially useful for generation of configuration register values and for practical testing
and debugging of the RF system. SmartRF Studio can be used either as a standalone
application or together with applicable evaluation boards or debug probes for the RF device.
Features of the SmartRF Studio include:
• Link tests - send and receive packets between nodes
• Antenna and radiation tests - set the radio in continuous wave TX and RX states
• Export radio configuration code for use with the TI SimpleLink SDK RF driver
• Custom GPIO configuration for signaling and control of external switches
Sensor Controller Studio is used to write, test and debug code for the Sensor Controller
peripheral. The tool generates a Sensor Controller Interface driver, which is a set of C
source files that are compiled into the System CPU application. These source files also
contain the Sensor Controller binary image and allow the System CPU application to control
and exchange data with the Sensor Controller. Features of the Sensor Controller Studio
include:
• Ready-to-use examples for several common use cases
• Full toolchain with built-in compiler and assembler for programming in a C-like
programming language
