OpenSource Arduino-based IDE with unlimited GNU-C Compiler for Texas Instruments Launchpads

Free IDE, with limited TI Compiler & unlimited GNU Compiler for MSP430

  • Texas Instruments Code Composer Studio (CCStudio) Integrated Development Environment (IDE) - “Use CCS for free - By default when you install Code Composer Studio a free license..., MSP430 with 16KB code size limit when using the TI compiler and MSP430 with no limit when using GCC”
    • The free but codesize-limited TI MSP430 compiler.
      • It can handle traditional Kernighan & Ritchie C ( K&R C ) code :-).
      • It is shipped with a free MISRA-C 2004 checker :-).
    • The free unlimited GCC compiler for MSP430.
      • Neither the installation wizzard of “CCStudio 5” nor of “CCStudio 6” offers the installation of the unlimited C/C++ compiler “GCC” for MSP430.
      • “CCStudio 6”:
      • “CCStudio 5” - There is no “CCS App Center” :-(.
  • Texas Instruments Wiki "Projects and Build Handbook for CCS".
  • Texas Instruments Embedded Processors Wiki "Download CCS" - Download of the free CCS editions.
  • Texas Instruments Embedded Processors Wiki "Device support files".
  • “CCStudio 5.5.0” ist the latest IDE for host computers with Pentium III 80×86 CPU.
  • “CCStudio 6.0.1” and newer is just for host computers with 80×86 CPU which supports the SSE2 instruction set. The installation of “CCStudio 6.0.1” hangs on computers with CPUs whico don´t support the SSE2 instruction set :-(:
    • TI e2e Community "CCSv6 freezes during installation" - “AMD Athlon XP 2600+”. “The processor you are using does not support the SSE2 instruction set. Unfortunately, there is no workaround for this issue other than to use a newer computer”.
    • I got the same issue with my Athlon XP2800 computer, it hangs after this installation message:
      Installing com.ti.ccstudio.targetdb.props.default.win32...
Unzipping <installation directory>/ccsv6/eclipse/downloads/targetdb_default_props_6.0.0.20131206.zip

MSP430 Tips

How to move a project with Code Composer Studio v5 ?

  • How to proceed:
    1. Open Code Composer Studio.
    2. Copy the project to a different name, by selecting a project with the mouse ( so that it becomes the “active” project ) and then executing the menu options “Edit / Copy” and “Edit / Paste” ( Instead, with Code Composer Studio 4, the menu option “Edit / Paste” is disabled after executing a “Edit / Copy” menu option with a project :-( ).
    3. Rename the copied project to the wanted name, by selecting the project name in the explorer, do a mouse-rightclick so that a menu opens. Select the menu option “Rename”.
    4. Close Code Composer Studio.
    5. Copy the directory to the target Windows computer, into the future workspace directory.
    6. Call Code Composer Studio on this computer.
    7. Execute the menu option “Project / Import Existing CCS/CCE Eclipse Project”.
    8. Let point the “Select search-directory” browser to your workspace directory, in which the project directory was placed.
    9. See that the project directory is displayed in the window section “Discovered projects:”.
    10. Select the project(s).
    11. Press the “Finish” button.
  • In opposite, renaming the project directory on Windows Desktop causes trouble:
    • Projects of such copied project directories are invisible to the user of Code Composer Studio.
    • If you try to import such projects by the menu option “Project / Import Existing CCS/CCE Eclipse Project”, Code Composer Studio often refuses to import, by creating error messages.
