CCS: How to write Plugins for CCS 6

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello All

I am trying to develop a plugin for code composer studio 6.2.0. I skimmed Application Report SPRA659 "Introduction to Code Composer Studio Plugins" but I guess it was not
meant for code composer studio 6. I want to find a simple document like this which describes how to write plugins for code composer studio 6 IDE. Please give me
any idea to start with?

Thanks

Hammad

  • Hello,
    SPRA659 is for a very old version of CCS. It does not apply to current CCS versions.

    Current CCS versions is based of Eclipse. If you are looking to create a plugin that will add functionality to just the CCS Eclipse GUI environment (not the debugger), you can follow the steps to create an Eclipse plugin:
    http://www.eclipse.org/pde/

    Note that CCS versions a based on specific versions of Eclipse and CDT. Make sure your plugin supports those versions. A list of what Eclipse/CDT versions a particular CCS version is based on is in the link below:
    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Code_Composer_Studio_Roadmap

    If you are looking to write a plugin that interfaces to the CCS debugger, then the recommended solution is to the have your plugin use the DSS APIs to interface to the debugger. More information on DSS can be found under:
    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Debug_Server_Scripting

    Hope this helps
