Code Composer Studio gains rewind feature
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 8/1/2005
Texas Instruments has announced the release of the Platinum Edition of its Code Composer Studio integrated development environment (IDE). The Platinum Edition makes code debugging less frustrating by introducing two new features that can save developers significant time when tracking down pervasive bugs: The CCStudio Rewind feature allows programmers to back-step through their source code with a single keystroke, while the new Connect/Disconnect feature enables developers to "hot swap" a target board in seconds to eliminate hardware suspects during debug.
To address the many DSP applications that are growing to hundreds of thousands of lines of code with onboard support for multiple processors, CCStudio Platinum Edition is a fully merged IDE supporting all TI platforms, including the TMS320C6000 DSP, TMS320C5000 DSP, TMS320C2000 DSP, and OMAP platforms. Other features include a component manager that lets users upgrade their IDE to take advantage of new features and bug fixes while locking down on a specific compiler and DSP/BIOS software kernel foundation version. The new component manager also lets the developer install and evaluate a new compiler or DSP/BIOS kernel version before committing to it.
Price: $3600, including 15 months of update subscription service. A free 120-day evaluation version is available on CD-ROM. Texas Instruments, www.ti.com/ccstudioplatinumpr.
