DSP Development
Code Composer Studio (CCStudio) software
is a fully integrated development
environment (IDE) supporting Texas
Instruments industry-leading
TMS320C6000, TMS320C5000,
TMS320C2000 DSP, DaVinci and
OMAP processor platforms.
Features and Benefits
• Unified IDE supports C2000,
C5000, C6000 DSP, DaVinci and
OMAP processor platforms in one
installation providing development
tool savings, multiprocessor support
and ease of platform migration
• Real-time analysis tools for monitoring
program interactions without
halting the processor
• A scalable, real-time, royalty-free
DSP/BIOS kernel
• Advanced Code Tuning tools streamline
optimization process to meet
power/performance and code size goals
• Data visualization for viewing signals
in multiple graphical formats
• Easily manage large multi-user, multisite
and multi-processor projects
• Fast simulators provide deeper visibility
for quick and precise problem
resolution
• Integrated CodeWright editor provides
quick startup and numerous
time-saving features
• Component Manager offers flexibility
to evaluate or lock down compiler
and DSP/BIOS versions for the life of
the project
• Robust, resilient host-to-target connect/disconnect
enables hot swapping
and eliminates restarts during
debug
• Rewind lets developers step forward
and backward in their source code to
quickly find and fix bugs
• Unified Breakpoint Manager gives
developers a single control panel to
manage software and hardware
breakpoint configurations
Code Composer Studio Development Tools Overview
CCStudio IDE includes the features necessary
to take you through each step of
the application development flow. All of
the features are provided in an integrated
product allowing developers to focus
their energy on innovation. CCStudio IDE
has an open architecture that allows TI
and third parties to extend the IDE’s functionality
by seamlessly plugging in additional
specialized tools. Such familiar
tools and interfaces allow users to get
started faster than ever before and add
functionality to their application thanks
to sophisticated productivity tools.
Code Composer Studio full-function
evaluation tools are available for a
free 120-day evaluation. To order your

Industry-Leading C/C++ Compiler
Unlike other processors that relay on
public domain (GNU) technology, TI’s
Code Composer Studio compiler takes
advantage of limited registers and mikes
tight DSP-specific loops. With more than
25 years experience and several patents,
the robust and reliable compiler and optimizer
technologies allow developers to
spend less time hand-coding and more
time concentrating on delivering new
applications.
Code Composer Studio tools include the
only compiler that optimizes code at the
program level, which is often critical to
performance. The compiler also contains
many DSP-specific optimizations such as
software pipelining, conversion/predicate
execution, memory address cloning and
memory address dependence elimination.
