• Real-Time Analysis - A first in the industry is Code Composer Studio's powerful real-time analysis capability. Using RTDX technology, DSP/BIOS provides a real-time window into the target system, allowing designers to analyze a system in real-time. This allows users to identify real-time problems during design and development, as well as in the field. Without this ability, such problems can take weeks to locate, if they can be located at all.

  　

• Advanced Data Visualization - The unique advanced data visualization capability of Code Composer Studio enables DSP developers to gain a fast and intuitive understanding of the system and its characteristics. With the advanced visualization feature, signals and data from the target can be seen more naturally, as images instead of text. View the signal as it progresses through an algorithm during the debugging process. These capabilities are now critical to DSP developers as emerging systems incorporate processing that requires more signal complexity than ever before.

  　

• Open Plug-In Architecture - Code Composer Studio provides standard open Application Program Interfaces (APIs), allowing third parties to build higher-level products that add functionality to the environment. Designers can now extend their complete TI development system with a wide variety of specialized third-party tool plug-ins that support their specific application needs. As a result, DSP developers no longer have to spend time and resources in creating customized utilities, focusing instead on building more robust DSP applications.

  Many plug-ins are standalone products that are seamlessly integrated into a single IDE so that all data is shared among applications. Other plug-ins, such as configuration utilities from hardware vendors, enable users to reduce setup and configuration time, allowing you to begin application development quickly.

  　

• Seamless Host-Target Communication - Code Composer Studio simplifies each stage of the DSP development cycle by extending the capabilities of the Code Composer IDE to encompass full awareness of the DSP target by the host. For the first time, DSP developers have built-in access to seamless host-target communication using the real-time foundation of DSP/BIOS and RTDX technology. This provides host and target tools integration in a unified environment and simplifies DSP system configuration and application design to help designers get started faster than ever before.

  　

• DSP/BIOS II - This scalable, extensible, real-time kernel for TMS320C5000™ DSPs provides a standard software foundation to significantly reduce cost, risk and development time. There are many new and exciting features to get you to market faster!

Code Composer Studio is one of the key components of the eXpressDSP Real-Time Software Technology that slashes development and integration time for DSP software, provides more choices for system ready software, and gets you to market faster.

*** Code Composer Studio Debug tools are intended to be used as an upgrade to full Code Composer Studio for those people who have previously purchased either Code Composr Studio Compile tools or a TI bundled EVM (bundled with CCS Compile tools software + EVM specific device drivers - Simulator).  CCS Debug does not include Code Generation tools (C compiler/ Assembler/ Linker), or the Simulator. With the CCS Debug tool you could use the debugger to load, run, and view DSP debug information, but you could not modify any code. CCS Debug tools include the TI XDS510 device drivers to enable emulation via the TMDS00510 emulator.
