Code Composer Studio (CCS)[edit]
Code Composer Studio is a complete, Eclipse-based integrated development environment (IDE) that supports the LaunchPad ecosystem, as well as the rest of Texas Instruments' Embedded Processors portfolio. This tool enables developers to program, debug and compile code directly into your LaunchPad evaluation kits.
When using CCS with a LaunchPad evaluation kit, CCS is free and fully-featured.
DOWNLOAD CCS Here! (CCS for MSP430 LaunchPad is Windows only // C2000 LaunchPad supports both Windows and Linux)
Compile & debug code for all LaunchPad kits with an intuitive user interface.[edit]
CCS supports all LaunchPad evaluation kits and is updated frequently to ensure device support packages are up-to-date. CCS is available for Windows OS today.
With CCSv5, the User Interface has been greatly improved and simplified offering an intuitive and easy development environment.
With an updated compiler, developers are sure that the code being compiled is as efficient as possible without sacrificing performance.
