TI adds to Code Composer IDE for DaVinci

There is also a integrated profiling and code coverage, CCStudio v3.3 which improves the analysis of system operation.
 
The new version of the IDE is targeted at the new generation of DSP embedded systems that employ multiple processors and run very large programs, often with hundreds of thousands of lines of code.

According to the firm, such systems, representing a rapidly growing segment of the overall digital signal processing market, require sophisticated tools that enable developers to track memory utilisation, detect and correct problems in code execution, and work from a unified interface that supports all system processors.

In addition to its support of TI’s TMS320C6000, TMS320C5000 and TMS320C2000 DSP platforms, CCStudio v3.3 also provides improved visibility into the use of memory by ARM processors when used in multiprocessor systems based on the firm’s DaVinci platform.

The ARM memory management unit (MMU) table display provides views for both physical and virtual addresses, along with protection information, to reveal complete address mapping. Filtering and sorting functions allow programmers to focus on domains, processes or memory areas for detailed analysis.

A free evaluation tool for Code Composer Studio Platinum, version 3.3, is available on the company website.
