    Debugger

    CCStudio’s integrated debugger has DSP-specific capabilities and advanced


    breakpoints to simplify development. Conditional or hardware breakpoints are based
    on full C expressions, local variables or registers. The advanced memory window
    allows you to inspect each level of memory so that you can debug complex cache
    coherency issues. CCStudio supports the development of complex systems with
    multiple processors or cores. Global breakpoints and synchronous operations provide
    control over multiple processors and cores.

    Profiling

    CCStudio’s interactive profiler makes it easy to quickly measure code performance and
    ensure the efficient use of the DSP target’s resources during debug and development
    sessions. The profiler allows developers to easily profile all C/C++ functions in their
    application for instruction cycles or other events such as cache misses/hits, pipeline
    stalls and branches. Profile ranges can be used to concentrate efforts on high-usage
    areas of code during optimization, helping developers produce finely-tuned code.
    Profiling is available for ranges of assembly, C++ or C code in any combination. To
    increase productivity, all profiling facilities are available throughout the development
    cycle.

    Scripting

    Some tasks such as testing need to run for hours or days without user interaction. To
    accomplish such a task, the IDE should be able to automate common tasks. CCStudio
    has a complete scripting environment allowing for the automation of repetitive tasks
    such as testing and performance benchmarking. A separate scripting console allows
    you to type commands or to execute scripts within the IDE.

    Image Analysis and Visualization

    CCStudio has many image analysis and graphic visualization. CCStudio includes the
    ability to graphically view variables and data on displays which can be automatically
    refreshed. CCStudio can also look at video data in the native format.

    Compiler

    TI has developed C/C++ compilers specifically tuned to maximize DSP usage and performance. TI compilers
    use a wide range of classical, DSP-oriented, and sophisticated device-specific optimizations that are tuned to
    DSP architectures. Some of these optimizations include:

    Common sub-expression elimination


    Software pipelining
    Strength Reduction
    Auto increment addressing
    Cost-based register allocation
    Instruction predication
    Hardware looping
    Function In-lining
    Vectorization

    TI compilers also perform program level optimizations that evaluate code performance
    at the application level. With the program level view, the compiler is able to generate
    code similar to an assembly program developer who has the full system view. This
    application level view is leveraged by the compiler to make trade-offs that significantly
    increase DSP performance.

    The TI ARM and Microcontroller C/C++ compilers are specifically tuned for code size
    and control code efficiency. They offer industry leading performance and compatibility.

    Simulation

    Simulators provide a way for users to begin development prior to having access to a
    development board. Simulators also have the benefit of providing enhanced visibility
    into application performance and behavior. Several simulator variants are available
    allowing users to trade off cycle accuracy, speed and peripheral simulation, with some
    simulators being ideally suited to algorithm benchmarking and others for more detailed
    system simulation.

    Hardware Debugging (Emulation)

    TI devices include advanced hardware debugging capabilities. These capabilities include:

    IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) and Boundary Scan


    Non-intrusive access to registers and memory
    Real-time mode which provides for the debugging of code that interacts with
    interrupts that must not be disabled. Real-time mode allows you to suspend
    background code at break events while continuing to execute time-critical interrupt
    service routines.
    Multi-core operations such as synchronous run, step, and halt. This includes cross-
    core triggering, which provides the ability to have one core trigger other cores to
    halt.

    Advanced Event Triggering (AET) which is available on selected devices, allows a user
    to halt the CPU or trigger other events based on complex events or sequences such as
    invalid data or program memory accesses. It can non-intrusively measure performance
    and count system events (for example, cache events).

    CCStudio provides Processor Trace on selected devices to help customers find


    previously “invisible” complex real-time bugs. Trace can detect the really hard to find
    bugs – race conditions between events, intermittent real-time glitches, crashes from
    stack overflows, runaway code and false interrupts without stopping the processor.
    Trace is a completely non-intrusive debug method that relies on a debug unit inside
    the DSP so it does not interfere or change the application’s real-time behavior. Trace
    can fine tune code performance and cache optimization of complex switch intensive
    multi-channel applications. Processor Trace supports the export of program, data,
    timing and selected processor and system events/interrupts. Processor Trace can be
    exported either to an XDS560 Trace external JTAG emulator, or on selected devices, to
    an on chip buffer Embedded Trace Buffer (ETB).

    TI offers a variety of JTAG emulators. Emulators enable live debug sessions with the
    target hardware. Learn more

    SYS/BIOS

    SYS/BIOS is an advanced, extensible real-time operating system that supports


    ARM926, ARM Cortex M3, C674x, C64x+, and 28x-based devices. SYS/BIOS offers
    numerous kernel and debugging enhancements not available in DSP/BIOS, including
    faster, more flexible memory management, events, and priority-inheritance mutexes.
    SYS/BIOS includes a DSP/BIOS compatibility layer to support easy migration of
    application source code. Please visit the SYS/BIOS product folder for additional
    information Learn more

    DSP/BIOS

    DSP/BIOS is a real-time operating system that provides pre-emptive multitasking


    services for DSP devices. DSP/BIOS services include ISR dispatching, software
    interrupts, semaphores, messages, device I/O, memory management, and power
    management. In addition, DSP/BIOS also includes debug instrumentation and tooling,
    including low-overhead print and statistics gathering. Learn more
