The above buttons will take you to a form that once complete will download a small installation program. A MyTi login is required to fill out the form, if you don't have one there will be an option to create one. This installation program will allow you to select the features of CCS that you want to install and then will download and install just those items. Full zip images are available if you have issues with the web installer. Previous versions are also available. After you have completed installation and run CCS for the first time it will give you the option to generate a free license (time limited, XDS100, code size limited...) or to provide your license file for your paid license. For more information on CCS licenses please see Licensing - CCS. Please see the Linux Host Support page for device support information.
Code Composer Studio Version 5 Downloads
There are two types of installers:
Web installers allow you to download only the software components that you require.
Off-line installers will download a large compressed file (about 1400MB) so you may then uncompress it then select what you require to install.
New in this release: supporting Windows 8 host, GCC Compiler for Sitara/Cortex-A8, MSP430G2xx4 and MSP430G2xx5 series. Also, significant improvements made to trace analysis usability and performance.
IMPORTANT NOTES: (1) Legacy MSP-FET430UIF JTAG interfaces (v1.3) do not support F5529 and F6137 in SBW mode on TI target socket board/evaluation modules Workaround: switch to 4 wire JTAG mode or use newer MSP-FET430UIF interface Please see Release Notes for more details. (2) If you are developing software for MSP430FR59xx family devices, using the version of Grace included with this release of CCS will result in build errors. Please update your installation of Grace to version 2.10.01 by selecting Help → Check For Updates. (3) Please see Release Notesregarding two limitations of CC2538 support. (4) Attention users of BeagleBone (revision A5 and newer) and AM335x Starter Kit (Rev 1.2B): these boards have modified XDS100 embedded emulators that require the use of the standard device driver provided by FTDI. Also, the supplied GEL file pre-configured for SK_AM335x board was not designed to be used by the initial production revision (Rev 1.2B). Please see Release Notes for more details. (5) NDK users: you’d need to apply a new NDK after you have installed this version of CCS. (6) Customers using scripting on Linux may need to correct a bash syntax error in dss.sh to allow parameters to be passed correctly. Please refer to forum thread for details.
INSTALLATION: See general instructions in README file. Additional Linux Installation Instructions If you are on Windows 7, 64-bit, using Nvidia, you may want to check this forum thread prior to installing CCSv5.4.0.
New in this release: GUI Composer (creation of custom user interfaces that interact with your target application), Grace 2.0, XDS560v2 Pro Trace, XDS2xx, support for MSP430 (F6659 and F6779) and EEM Trace, F28335 series, and multiple bug fixes.
IMPORTANT NOTES: (1) Importing projects from previous CCSv5.x releases for the MSP430FRxxxx series of devices requires a manual update of the corresponding linker command file (CMD) in your project. Please see Release Notes for more details. (2) Attention users of BeagleBone (revision A5 and newer) and AM335x Starter Kit (Rev 1.2B): these boards have modified XDS100 embedded emulators that require the use of the standard device driver provided by FTDI. Also, the supplied GEL file pre-configured for SK_AM335x board was not designed to be used by the initial production revision (Rev 1.2B). Please see Release Notes for more details. (3) After you apply software updates, should you ever encounter in a subsequent update the message: "The operation could not be completed. See the details.”, go to Window→Preferences→Install/Update→Available Software Sites and disable the Juno site (uncheck the box). The Eclipse Juno updates are not compatible with this version of CCS.
This version is contains several bug fixes and updated versions of compilers compilers and BIOS operating system... For more information check out the CCSv5 wiki.
MSP430ware users: The MSP430ware version installed with CCSv5.2.1 does not properly display some examples in the TI Resource Explorer (check this post). Please click on this link for upgrade instructions.
Blackhawk Emulation Note: Please update to Blackhawk Emulation Drivers v5.2.0.203 or later using the CCS Eclipse Update Manager from the main menu (Help -> Check for Updates). This applies to both Windows and Linux versions. LINUX USERS: if you do not update as root (i.e. sudo), then you need to re-run the driver install scripts as sudo to make sure device drivers are updated. Execute the file, install_drivers.sh located in the folder, instal_scripts. See Linux Installation Instructions

If you had installed 5.1.0.09000 from the so-called "web installer" download, instead of the "offline installer", you may encounter issues applying 5.1.1 automatic patch update. If this is the case, please download the Windows offline installer for 5.1.1 (Build # 5.1.1.00031) and install this image atop of your existing 5.1.0 installation, at the same location (you do not have to uninstall 5.1.0 prior to overinstalling 5.1.1).
There was a 5.1.1.00028 posted previously. The only difference between that build and this one is the location of some simulator files. This build (5.1.1.00031) corrects the location so that the simulators are visible in CCS.
Installation
The offline installer is the complete DVD image in an archive file. Extract this and you can run the setup program to install CCS.
