CCS: C/C++ debugger

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

Is there a way to use CCS also as an IDE and debugger for C/C++ windows executable programs (it is based on eclipse so i assume there should be a way do do it)?

If there is can you instruct me what i need to do (already have MinGW and i am able to build the windows executable but i also would like to have to option to debug the program - like under visual studio)

(I mainly need it because i have some utilities i write that interface the HW and it would be great if i can use the same IDE as a debugger both for the embedded and for the windows utilities).

Thanks

Guy

Hi Guy,

It is likely may be possible but this forum is not the best place to get the answers you seek since this forum focuses on using CCS for developing applications to run on TI processors. I would check the standard eclipse forums and other forums like the ones below:

Thanks

Hi,
Thank you. i have already found the answer -- all that is needed to be done is just enable CDT GDB Debugging under CCS preferences-capabilities.

Thanks
