Code Composer Studio Integrated Development Environment
Code Composer Studio Overview 1-7
1.3.2 Application Building Features
Within Code Composer Studio, you create
an application by adding files to a project.
The project file is used to build the
application. Files in a project can include
C source files, assembly source files,
object files, libraries, linker command files,
and include files.
You can use a window to specify the
options you want to use when compiling,
assembling, and linking a project.
Using a project, Code Composer Studio
can create a full build or an incremental
build and can compile individual files. It
can also scan files to build an include file
dependency tree for the entire project.
Code Composer Studio’s build facilities can be used as an alternative to
traditional makefiles. If you want to continue using traditional makefiles for
your project, Code Composer Studio also permits that.
1.3.3 Application Debugging Features
Code Composer Studio provides support for the following debugging
activities:
❏
Setting breakpoints with a number of stepping options
❏
Automatically updating windows at breakpoints
❏

commonly performed tasks.
