CCS/CC2652P: What does the progress bar at the bottom of CCS mean?

Part Number: CC2652P

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

CCS version : 10.1.0.00010 

When CCS startup, there is a progress bar running at the bottom of the window, like this, 

And a garbage collector near the progress bar.

What does this bar mean , and what's the function of the garbage collector?

  • The Code Composer Studio IDE is based on the Eclipse application framework.  It is a Java application.  A Java application runs in a Java Virtual Environment (JVM).  That progress bar shows the heap allocation of the JVM.  In general this is not something that you need to worry about.
