CCS vs Eclipse + CDT

Andrew W.

Being accustomed to Eclipse + CDT for most of my embedded projects, is there any advantage to using Code Composer Studio for Sitara?

Thanks.

Hello,

Using CCS gives you low level JTAG debugging visibility with your Sitara device.

Thanks

Ki,

Sounds like Sitara device (register?) visibility is the key feature in CCS. That said, developers not using JTAG should be just fine with simple Eclipse.

For those requiring JTAG debug, would Eclispe + OpenOCD be an economical solution?

Thank you.

I assume you are interested in Linux application development on Sitara. Depending on your needs, standard Eclipse and CDT with GDB may be all you need. I suggest looking at this training module:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CCS_Modules_Library#Linux_Debug

It show what you get with CCS that is missing with standard Eclipse+CDT+GDB

Thanks

That should help us in choosing our toolset. Perhaps just one seat for CCS for JTAG debugging and Eclipse for the rest.
