Regarding Mini GCC code composer

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Hello team,

I want to just try a simple C program without using any target.

I have heard that this code composer studio has a mini gcc compiler using which we wont be needing a target to run and compile a program. Am unable to find it in my latest CCStudio windows (offline) IDE.  

Correct me if am wrong.

If not what are the ways in which I can create a simple c program, compile it and show that output in console without connecting to any hardware.

Thanks and regards,

Mounika

  • I want to just try a simple C program without using any target.

    That's impossible, you always need a target: e.g. a microcontroller or PC.

    Some toolchains (usually paid for) come with a core simulator where you can run a program written for a micro-controller on a host PC. Do you mean this scenario? I doubt that CCS comes with simulators for TI microprocessors but I could be wrong.

    What's your end objective, to learn 'C'?

  • I doubt that CCS comes with simulators for TI microprocessors but I could be wrong.

    You are correct, CCS no longer supports simulators.

    The last version of CCS to have simulators is CCSv5.5

  • Hello Kier,

          Thanks for the response. It was just my keen interest to know whether like other IDE's could we work on CCS without using a target.
