Texas Instruments (Code Composer Studio) Development Tools
 |
|
The DA-C support for each TI TMS toolkit includes the following:
- A detailed Makefile Generator template verified with Merant, Microsoft, Borland and GNU Make utilities
- Preinclude files
- User Defined Actions templates
- TI toolbar icons common to all TI tools
DA-C is currently integrating a DAPI (Debugging support Application Programming Interface). This interface will enable DA-C to exchange messages with Code Composer Studio (CCS) debugger. The advantages of such a connection are that it allows you to set or delete breakpoints from within DA-C and to execute other debugger operations.
Furthermore, DA-C is not only synchronized with CCS debugger, but runs with it as it operates - it is always in the same file and on the same line as CCS debugger. Thus, the usability of both DA-C and CCS debugger is increased.
For example you find a variable with a wrong value. Then you can switch to DA-C and with a simple right mouse click on the corresponding line you can open a Browser window with all the lines where its value changes. On each of these code-lines you can set (directly from the DA-C tool bar) a breakpoint or trigger other Debugger actions. Furthermore you can set breakpoints from any node in the call hierarchy graph-window.

| In order to enable you to test the integration of TI development tools and the possibilities of DA-C in practice, we have placed at your disposal a demo DA-C project constructed on the basis of TI demo projects (see below). |
| The Technical Note also contains a full description of how you can use DA-C on these demos and on your own projects. |
| Once again, we would like to point out that you have the opportunity to receive a two weeks' trial license by generating data using DA-C Help / Technical Support / License Data. |
| We are also very grateful for any ideas and/or suggestions on how we can further improve DA-C support for TI compilers. |
