 INTRODUCTION

 Code Composer Studio (CCS) is the integrated development

environment for TI's DSPs, microcontrollers and
application processors.
 Includes a suite of tools used to develop and debug
embedded applications.
 Includes compilers for each of TI's device families, source
code editor, project build environment, debugger, profiler,
simulators and many other features.
 This course will cover embedded software development for
TI’s TMS320C55x DSP’s
 Code Composer Studio

 CCS includes a C compiler, an assembler, a linker, an

archiver, a hex conversion utility, a cross-reference
utility, and an absolute lister.
 C55x C compiler: Generates assembly source code
from the C source files.
 Assembler: Translates assembly source files, either
handcoded by DSP programmers or generated by the C
compiler, into machine language object files.
 Code Composer Studio

 Assembly tools: Use the common object file format

(COFF) to facilitate modular programming.
 Archiver: Allows users to collect a group of files into a
single archived file.
 Linker: Combines object files and libraries into a single
executable COFF object module.
 Hex conversion utility: Converts a COFF object file into
a format that can be downloaded to an EPROM
programmer or a flash memory program utility.
