Now supporting Windows 8 host.
o Enhancements to IDE:
· Added ability to save registers to a file.
· GCC Support (Sitara)
· Bug fixes to the integrated FLASH program loader; added capability to load .TXT files
o Enhancements to GUI Composer:
· Additional new widget properties
· Chromium engine on Windows
· Ability to specify pre/post processing functions
· Control data display format
· Performance optimizations
· Version support
o GCC Compiler Support for Sitara™/Cortex-A8:
· GCC Bare Metal compiler included (Linaro) – Version 4.7
· Integrated build / debug with GCC on Cortex-A8:
· CCS Project Build support for Sitara™ devices
· CCS Debug support (stop mode)
· SYS/BIOS support
· Includes relevant linker command files and device XML files
· Includes semi-hosting file I/O support
· Known limitation: do not use -( and -) options on Linux, as it will cause build failures. Instead, please use --start-group and --end-group
o Simulation:
· Introduction of 66AK2H12 device functional simulator configurations
· Bug fixes on Keystone 1 simulators
o Emulation / Debugger:
· ETB/TBR performance enhancements
· Increase to XDS Pro performance with improvement to reduce the signal noise level
· Full Cortex-M0 debug support
· Linux C64x debug support
· Support for Tiva™ ARM MCU platform (Tiva-C series TM4C123x ARM Cortex-M4)
· Support for CC2538, with the following two limitations:
· Project templates add a target configuration ccxml file specifying a connection to XDS100v3; this will override other connection set by the user.
· If auto-run options are disabled in Debug Configuration, it will still run to _c_int00 symbol after Flash load
o Hardware Trace:
· Significant improvements to usability. Reduced the number of steps to access functionality from 20+ to just 4.
· Ship number of Analysis Configuration to cover common use-cases
· Function Profiling
· Stall Profiling Analysis
· Cache Event Analysis
· Memory Throughput and Access Analysis
· PC Trace
· Power and Clock Analysis (OMAP)
· Enabled use-case customization
· Improved performance across the board by >10x
· Decoding and display data
· Export Data
· Find, Filter and Sort
· Graph display
· Reduce amount of temporary data storage on hard drive (25x reduction) & memory (5x)
· Addressed number of critical usability feedbacks
· Simplified Trace Viewer by eliminating paging
· Remember user settings across CCS sessions
· Improved progress/feedback/and ability to cancel long operations
· Allow automatically launch and synchronize analysis views with log view
o SYS/BIOS 6.35:
· The BIOS.libType "LibType_Debug" configuration behavior has changed. This option now builds a debug version of the code as part of building the user's application. See the SYS/BIOS User's Guide for more information.
· The Cortex-A15 gcc libraries are now built to support hard-floating point (-mfloat-abi=hard). The target name is 'gnu.targets.arm.A15F'. The soft-floating point library (gnu.targets.arm.A15) is no longer provided.
· Cortex-A8 gcc libraries (gnu.targets.arm.A8F) with hard-floating point (-mfloat-abi=hard) are now supported.
· MSP430/COFF support has been removed. All MSP430 users must move to the ELF object file format.
· The Stellaris Cortex-M4 Clock module now supports "Clock.TickMode_DYNAMIC" which allows unnecessary timer ticks to be suppressed to save power.
o XDCTools 3.25:
· Removed C54x and C55x targets from ti.targets
· Removed legacy platforms as well as legacy BIOS 5 tconf support
o Grace 2.10:
· Added support for MSP430G2x44 and MSP430G2x55 devices, including support for the following Grace views:
Timer
Comparator A+
Timer1_A3
Timer0_A3
GPIO support
Interrupt manager support
· Known Limitation: if you are developing software for MSP430FR59xx family devices, using the version of Grace included with this release of CCS will result in build errors.
Please update your installation of Grace to version 2.10.01 by selecting Help → Check For Updates.
o MSP430:
· New support for:
MSP430G2xx4 series full support
MSP430G2xx5 series full support
MSP430TCH5E support
· Fixes:
MSP-FET430UIF peak current detection behavior less sensitive now
Fixed issues that caused crashes under Linux when closing debug session
Info A Memory Lock now functional
MSP430 support files now include BSD license headers
· New Features:
eZ-FET series emulator support
· Known Limitations:
Downgrade from DLLv3.2.5.3 to v2 firmware may take up to two minutes
No known workaround
Legacy MSP-FET430UIF JTAG interfaces (v1.3) do not support F5529 and F6137 in SBW mode on TI target socket board/evaluation modules
Workaround: switch to 4 wire JTAG mode or use newer MSP-FET430UIF interface
Error message "Can't set Vcc" occurs upon debug session launch
Workaround: power cycle (unplug/re-connect) debug interface and launch debug session again
