CCS Theia v1.5 User's Guide
Release Information
CCS Theia v1.5.0 is an incremental update to CCS Theia v1.4.1. It contains a number of significant new features and many bug fixes. Refer to the "What's New" section.
Notable Bug Fixes
- Cannot connect 280039C
- Standalone XDS110 probe does not work with MSPM0 password script
- Target configuration editor is missing boards
- SysConfig views may not be scroll-able
Known Issues
- Decoding of core trace data may take up to 20 seconds for large captures. Performance can be improved 2x - 3x by performing the following actions:
- Right click on the core and select "Show all cores" from the context menu
- Select the new visible node which is called "DebugCell_TBR_0"
- Right click on that node and select "Connect Target"
- PC Hibernation affects CCS Theia inter-process communication with Resource Explorer opened. You may see a message “Error communicating with Cloud Agent “. Also, a notification panel in bottom right will be shown indicating that CCS Theia has gone offline. Please choose Restart option to restart CCS Theia and re-establish IPC communication.
- On Linux, the file browse dialog may open behind the main IDE window causing the application to appear to hang. This can be resolved by bringing the browse dialog to the foreground.
General Information
- New Theia-IDE based IDE:
- Simple, easy-to-use environment
- Compatible with VS Code® extensions
- You may need to configure proxy settings to access open-vsx.org where Theia enabled extensions are hosted.
- Source code navigation.
- Debug views such as breakpoints, callstack, variables, registers, memory and graphs.
- Target Configuration View
- Project-less debug support
- New features are being added with every release, please check What’s New section for details.
Compatibility:
- Project System is fully compatible with existing Code Composer Studio projects, meaning that existing projects (or example projects in SDKs) can be imported into CCS Theia. Workspaces are not compatible.
- Simply import your existing projects or examples from the SDK and get started
- Debug: Project based debugging is supported by providing same single click Debug Active Project action as in CCS 12.x. Project-less debug, ability to start a debug session from target configuration file (ccxml) is supported.
- Workspace: CCS Theia is using different underlying framework as such workspaces are not compatible between CCS products based on Eclipse. However, projects are fully compatible.
- CCS Theia supports ability to open a folder that holds CCS Projects or open a folder where projects should reside.
- Similar to VS Code, CCS Theia can open multiple distinct folders that hold projects. This is documented in VS Code as multi-root workspace. However, project names need to be unique across different folders.
Compilers
- TI CLANG 4.0.0 LTS, C2800 v22.6.1, C29 v0.1.0 STS, C6x v8.3.12, MSP430 v21.6.1.LTS compilers are bundled
Device Support
- Recommended for production development: MSPM0, MSP430, Wireless connectivity, Sitara MCU, mmWave, C29
- Evaluation, not recommended for production development: Sitara MPU, Jacinto
