Overview 

Code Composer Studio v5 is the first version of CCS to be based on the latest version of Eclipse with no modifications (‘Stock Eclipse’). This allows customers to integrate a wider range of 3rd party plugins (as compared to CCSv4.x) and allows upgrades of open source components of CCS.

There are also many other improvements including improvements in performance, usability and stability.

Customers with using older versions of CCS (v4/v3) with valid maintenance subscriptions will be able to upgrade to CCSv5. CCSv5.1 and 5.2 are based on the Indigo Eclipse release train while CCSv5.3 and 5.4 are based on Juno (3.8).

What's New in CCSv5

• What's new in CCSv5: Presentation that covers what the main changes (and new features) are in CCSv5.1 from a CCSv4.x perspective.
• CCSv5 Changes: Wiki topic that covers what the main changes (and new features) are in CCSv5.1 from a CCSv4.x perspective.
• Moving from CCSv3 to CCSv5: Presentation geared towards the experienced CCSv3 user who is moving to CCSv5. Highlights the key differences between the two environments.

Getting Started

CCS getting started guides are an excellent way for a new user to get familiar with the basics of the CCS environment. The main goal is to get a new user running on CCS as quickly as possible. Links to various CCS getting started guides are available at the link below:

Training

The CCS Training page is the best place to look for training collateral specific to CCS.

If you are looking for more information on the SYS/BIOS kernel then this workshop is appropriate. It starts with an introduction to SYS/BIOS itself and then shows how to use it within CCS.
