    Hi Tamil,

    GEL files are essentially a form of scripting that can be used within Code Composer Studio for a wide array of actions such as reading registers and providing debug feedback but also to initialize devices (as is done in the gel file you referenced).  You can also define when certain actions are performed by grouping them under the OnStartup() or OnTargetConnect() groupings. 

    The link to the wiki page contains good information on what GEL is and what can and cannot be done but for a better understanding regarding the usage of GEL, I'd look into the integrated help section in Code Composer Studio.  In that help section, you can find more information about the available commands and their proper use cases.
