DESCRIPTION
Code Composer 4.1 Service Pack 2 is now avalible!
See: http://focus.ti.com/docs/general/symlink.jhtml?name=ccpack
Code Composer is the DSP industry's first fully integrated development
environment (IDE) with DSP-specific functionality. With its familiar MS-
Visual C++ like environment , Code Composer lets you edit, build, debug,
profile and manage projects from a single unified environment. Other
unique features include graphical signal analysis, injection/extraction of
data signals via file I/O, multi-processor debugging, automated testing
and customization via a C-interpretive scripting language and much more.
FEATURES
Code Composer Version 4.10 builds on an already extensive and unique
feature set and includes additional capabilities to further reduce
development time.

Code Composer is a fully-integrated DSP software development
environment with a similar look and feel as MS-Visual C++, yet built for
DSP. Within a single application you can edit, compile in the background,
debug, do performance profiles, analyze signals and run test cases. You
have easy access to these and other advanced features, specially tailored
to DSP designers' needs, which will further help you to design better code
in less time!
Code Composer includes all the major features provided by the standard
HLL Debugger and sells for about the same price. You get so many more
advanced features within the Code Composer environment that you'll

SPECFICATIONS
Code Composer has an unbeatable price/performance ratio whose
capabilities are light years ahead of the HLL Debugger. Note that each HLL
debugger supports only one processor while Code Composer often
supports two processors in the same package.

windows that can be dragged outside of their parent's frame
zMultiple watch windows
The C Compiler accepts ANSI C source code and produces efficient C3x or
C4x assembly language source code, performing a wide variety of
optimizations to improve the efficiency of the compiled code. The compiler
incorporates four levels of state-of-the-art generic and target-specific
optimizations. The level of optimizations is selectable. The C compiler was
validated with the Perenial, Plum-Hall C Validation Suite and the K&R Test.
Optimizations include:
Specific TMS320 Floating-Point Optimizations
zRegister variables,
zCost-based register allocation,
zAuto increment addressing,
zRepeat blocks,
zDelay branches, calls, and returns,
zUse of registers for passing function arguments,
zParallel instructions,
zConditional instructions.
General Optimizations
zBranch optimizations/control-flow simplification,
zAlgebraic reordering, symbolic simplification, constant
folding,
zAlias disambiguation,
zCopy propagation,
zCommon sub expression elimination,
zRedundant assignment elimination,
zLoop induction variable optimizations/strength reduction,
zLoop rotation,
zLoop invariant code motion,
zInline expansion of function calls,
zFile level optimizations.
Works with these Devices:
TMS320C3X, TMS320C4X
