CCS unit testing without target?

I'm getting started with CCS and looking for a way to practice writing and testing C code that is not target-specific. In other words, just compile and run on the development platform (Windows XP SP2) with console I/O to unit-test small routines, etc.

Is there a way to target the Intel processor, or to use a simulator/emulator to run without a hardware target?

I've seen mention of simulator/emulators in CCS documents, but cannot find anything like that in my installation (for MPS430) .

Hello,

While you can build for a generic/custom MSP430 device, there are no MSP430 simulators with CCS. You must have an actual MSP430 HW target to run on.

Thanks for reply.

Can I choose another 16 bit cpu with a simulator? Which would be best?

The only other 16-bit architecture with simulator support is the c55x. But to get this, you will need to download the full tools for CCS. I suggest you just use a C28x simulator which should be included as part of the install you already have. This is a 32 bit architecture but if you really are writing CPU independent code, it should not matter.

Thanks, that should get me started.
