· Increased ease-of-use:Streamlined options dialog boxes reduce the number of steps required for commonly performed
design tasks. Additionally, developers have consolidated access to other MSP430 compilers tools
such the MSPGCC GNU tool chains through a single IDE.
· Advanced embedded emulation:Comprehensive support of MSP430 MCU's on-chip capabilities, including hardware-based breakpoints and stack trace, results in faster emulation and more efficient debugging.
· High-performance debugger:Replacing the GDB debugger with the TI CCStudio Debug Server
yields up to 200 percent faster performance for tasks such as downloading applications, single-stepping, and refreshing registers and variables.
· Updated C-code syntax: Allows developers to directly import code without modification from the rich
diversity of code examples, libraries and demos from TI and TI third parties.
· Support for all MSP430 MCUs:Support for all MSP430 MCU generations including the
extended memory capabilities of MSP430X architecture such as the MSP430F261x and MSP430F5xx.
· Based on Eclipse: CCE v3 is based on the Eclipse 3.2 open source development platform, which
offers developers the freedom of choice in tool integration, software modeling and testing in a multi-language, platform and vendor environment.
· Language flexible: Several programming languages are supported including MSP430 assembly, C and C++.
CCE Core Edition v3 (MSP-CCE430) is free and supports up to 16K bytes of code space. CCE Pro v3 (MSP-CCE430PRO) features unlimited C and assembly code space starting at $499.
