CCStudio Scripting

Overview

The Code Composer Studio (CCStudio a.k.a. CCS) Scripting Utility is an interface that provides access to CCStudio 2.x-3.x functionality from either Perl or COM-based languages. Using CCStudio Scripting, a simple user script can start CCStudio, load a file, read/write memory, set/clear breakpoints, run, and perform other basic debugging/testing functions. The CCStudio Scripting Utility is available with the default installation of CCStudio 3.3. Prior versions of CCStudio can obtain the Scripting Utility from the CCStudio Update Advisor.

In Code Composer Studio v4 and later CCStudio Scripting is replaced by Debug Server Scripting (DSS).
