CCS: New to code composer studio

Anbu,

CCSv7 supports both devices you mentioned above - keep in mind that, if you are using Linux or macOS, the MSP-EXP430G2 launchpad does not work on these OSes.

Since you are using CCSv7, you may want to look at the Getting Started video that is shown immediately after opening CCS for the first time. It contains a great way to find example projects and documentation for your devices and boards.

If you have already closed that view, you can go to menu View → Getting Started and the video should show up immediately.

The video explains this view in detail. 

Hope this helps,

Rafael

Hi,

In CSS7, do we have dedicated keywords in IDE. Rather then C lang. keywords ?

-Anbu

No, the IDE simply allows you to use C/C++ efficiently. That said, there are functions in RTOS and driverLib - additional libraries, not part of the IDE per se - that take a lot of the pain out of programming the chip's registers.

Anbu,

Just adding to Keith's excellent reply above, the C compilers also have implementation-specific keywords that may be different from the C compilers you may have used in the past.

In general, start from an example code and study its implementation. It is certainly the easiest and quickest start to use the devices efficiently.

Regards,
Rafael
