New development environment cuts coding time

Code Composer Studio™, the industry’s first open, comprehensive integrated digital signal processing (DSP) software development environment, is planned for release from Texas Instruments early next year for the TMS320C6000. It offers real time analysis capabilities, an integrated tool environment and an architecture that invites plug-ins from third-party developers.

TI’s Code Composer Studio combines the most advanced DSP software tool technologies, reducing the average DSP coding time by up to 50 percent and easing many complexities of DSP development. The result is designers can focus on those elements that differentiate their products and deliver more value to customers.

As a development environment, Code Composer Studio extends and integrates the capabilities of the Code Composer Integrated Development Environment (IDE), DSP/BIOS™ and Real-Time Data Exchange (RTDX™) technologies and the TI ’C6000 Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) C compiler, Assembly Optimizer and Linker all within an extensible architecture. This open host environment encourages development of specialized third-party tools and plug-ins.

Key capabilities of Code Composer Studio include real-time analysis and debugging coupled with advanced data visualization. These features permit designers to view data while a DSP application is running, allowing designers to view the application signals and data intuitively and naturally, as images instead of text. This feature makes it easier and quicker to identify real-time problems in the applications.

Third-party plug-ins extend robust development environment

Code Composer Studio provides standard open Application Program Interfaces (APIs), allowing third parties to build higher-level products specific to their core competency and add value and functionality to the environment.

More than 20 third parties have committed to support development of plug-ins meeting specific application needs for the Code Composer Studio environment. Several plug-ins demonstrations are available today. These tools extend the current environment so designers can develop more robust DSP applications faster and easier than ever before.
