CODECOMPOSER: Differences between Eclipse and Tehia

Hello,

Conor said:

Is it correct to understand that V20x is Tehia-based and V12x is Eclipse-based CCS?

Yes

Conor said:

As far as I know, Tehia only supported the MSPM0 series. Does the latest Tehia environment support all SDKs (C2000Ware, Sitara Processor SDK, etc.)?

That only applied to very early CCS Theia versions. The current CCS Theia environment (CCS 20) supports most of the devices and SDKs that earlier CCS version supported, with the exception of the devices listed in the link below:

Conor said:

Does TI plan to continue supporting Eclipse-based CCS?

We have deprecated support for CCS Eclipse. CCS 12.x is the last Eclipse based CCS.

Conor said:

The background to the question is that past development documents for TI MCUs are written in Eclipse-based format, so if we are developing using CCS for the first time, it is easier to develop using Eclipse-based CCS.
In other words, is it recommended to use Eclipse-based CCSv12 in such cases?

It is really a case-by-case thing. Some MCUs/SDKs have migration guides. We do encourage people to move to the new environment since we no longer support the older Eclipse based environment. But each situation is different.
