About This Manual
Code Composer Studio speeds and enhances the development process for
programmers who create and test real-time, embedded signal processing
applications. Code Composer Studio extends the capabilities of the Code
Composer Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to include full
awareness of the DSP target by the host and real-time analysis tools.
This tutorial assumes that you have Code Composer Studio, which includes
the TMS320C6000 code generation tools along with the APIs and plug-ins for
both DSP/BIOS and RTDX. This manual also assumes that you have
installed a target board in your PC containing the DSP device.
If you only have Code Composer Studio Simulator and the code generation
tools, but not the complete Code Composer Studio, you can perform the
steps in Chapter 2 and Chapter 4.
If you are using the DSP simulator instead of a board, you are also limited to
performing the steps in Chapter 2 and Chapter 4.
This tutorial introduces you to some of the key features of Code Composer
Studio. The intention is not to provide an exhaustive description of every
feature. Instead, the objective is to prepare you to begin DSP development
with Code Composer Studio.
