Using CCS to develop a host-side application

I need to write a PC-side application to test my embedded system. I would prefer doing this in CCS and not have to open an instance of Eclipse CDT. I can make a default "Hello World" application but I can figure out how to run it from inside CCS. It runs fine if I run it from a command window. Is there a tutorial on the whole process?

  • Stephen,

    There is no reason this should not be possible.  It is very similar to how we debug Linux applications.  If it has the correct type of debug configuration specified it should just work.  If you create a "C Project" or "C++ Project" (not a CCS project) it should allow you to configure gdb as your debugger.  We don't have a tutorial on how to do host debug, personally I have never done it.  I don't have a gdb installed for my host system.

    If you go to our training site and select the advanced workshop.  The section on Linux Application Debug (run mode debug) goes through some of this.  For workshop imports an existing project but it does cover creating the debug configuration for gdb.
