Code Composer Studio (CCS) is an integrated development environment built on Eclipse for embedded systems development using Texas Instruments processors. It provides C/C++ development, real-time debugging with JTAG probes, profiling, and optimization tools. CCS is tightly integrated with TI hardware: MSP430 (ultra-low power), TM4C/Tiva (ARM Cortex-M), C2000 (real-time control), and DSP processors. CCS is particularly strong for real-time and embedded applications where traditional IDE features (code completion, debugging) must coexist with hardware-level control and real-time constraints.
