Introduction

Welcome to Code Composer Studio v5! Code Composer Studio v5 is a major new release of Code Composer Studio (CCS) that is based on the Eclipse open source software framework. The Eclipse software framework is used for many different applications but it was originally developed as a open framework for creating development tools. We have chosen to base CCS on Eclipse as it offers an excellent software framework for building software development environments and is becoming a standard framework used by many embedded software vendors. CCSv5 combines the advantages of the Eclipse software framework with advanced embedded debug capabilities from Texas Instruments resulting in a compelling feature rich development environment for embedded developers.

Note: This guide is designed for the latest release of CCSv5. For legacy releases please check CCSv5 Getting Started Guide legacy

CCS Overview

If you are new to Code Composer Studio, the link below provides an excellent overview of the IDE and its main features

Project Development

All work on Code Composer Studio is based on projects - a collection of source, include and configuration files.

If you are new to Code Composer Studio or simply want to create a project from scratch please check the topic below:

GSG:Creating projects v5

Project Debugging

The next step after creating a project is to run the program in the debugger. The topic below shows how to configure the debugger and make the best use of the available features to inspect the program execution.
