EmbeddedIDELinkCCprovidesaninterface to your processor hardware so
you can communicate with processors for which you are developing systems
and algorithms. Each ticcs object comprises two objects— a CCS IDE object
and an RTD X interface object. The objects are not separable; the RTDX
object is a subclass of the CCS IDE object. Each of the objects has multiple
properties. To configure the interface objects for C CS IDE and RTDX, you set
parameters that define details such as the desired board, the processor, the
timeout period applied for communicatio n s operations, and a number of other
values. Because Embedded IDE Link CC uses objects to create the interface,
the paramet ers you set are called propertie s and you treat them as prope rties
when you set them , retrieve them, or modify them.
This section details the properties for the
ticcs objects for CCS IDE and
RTDX. First the section prov ides tables of the pro pe rties, for quick reference.
Following the tables, the section offers in-depth descriptions of each property ,
its name and use, and whether you can set a nd get the property value
associated with the property. D escri ptions include a few examples of the
property in use.
MATLAB software users may find much of this handling of objects familiar.
Objects in Embedde d IDE Link CC , behave like objects in MA TLAB software
and the other object-oriented toolboxes. For C++ programmers, discussion of
object-oriented programming is likely to be a review.
Quick Reference to ticcs Object Properties
The following table lists the properties for the ticcs objects i n Embedded
IDE Link CC. The second column tells you which o bject the property b elongs
to. Knowing which p roperty belongs to each object in a
ticcs object tells you
how to access the property.
