GUI Composer is made up of two main components

• GUI Composer is the design tool used for creation of applications. GUI Composer is integrated into Code Composer Studio providing an integrated environment for development of target application and custom GUI within the same environment. GUI Composer apps can be designed and verified using full debug capabilities of Code Composer Studio.
• GUI Composer Runtime is a standalone component that can be leveraged to deploy applications to environments without dependencies on Code Composer Studio.
