Part Number: CCSTUDIO-C2000

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi,

we've been developing software for C2000 parts using CCS for various applications. Now there is a requirement that we need to supply our Source Code along with the

CCS to our Customer. It should be compilable,builtable and ready to be load at any time by the Customer without any support from us. So,How can we share the source code

meeting all the said requirements without letting them/any other parties to have knowledge on the Know-How of the software?. Presently we are supplying only the ".out" file

and CCSUniflash for the field loading and up-gradations. Kindly help us?

Thanks & Regards,

Naveen.

Naveen,

What you are looking for is code obfuscation. There are commercial and open source tools available for this.

In summary you need to find a code obfuscation tool that meets your needs. Then create a version of your CCS project(s) that uses the obfuscated code instead of your original code. Then provide that project along with CCS to your customer. I would suggest providing a little script that did the build and flash. Both CCS build and UniFlash are scriptable.
