New in this release: GUI Composer (creation of custom user interfaces that interact with your target application), Grace 2.0, XDS560v2 Pro Trace, XDS2xx, support for MSP430 (F6659 and F6779) and EEM Trace, F28335 series, and multiple bug fixes.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
(1) Importing projects from previous CCSv5.x releases for the MSP430FRxxxx series of devices requires a manual update of the corresponding linker command file (CMD) in your project. Please see Release Notes for more details.
(2) Attention users of BeagleBone (revision A5 and newer) and AM335x Starter Kit (Rev 1.2B): these boards have modified XDS100 embedded emulators that require the use of the standard device driver provided by FTDI. Also, the supplied GEL file pre-configured for SK_AM335x board was not designed to be used by the initial production revision (Rev 1.2B). Please see Release Notes for more details.
(3) After you apply software updates, should you ever encounter in a subsequent update the message: "The operation could not be completed. See the details.”, go to Window→Preferences→Install/Update→Available Software Sites and disable the Juno site (uncheck the box). The Eclipse Juno updates are not compatible with this version of CCS.
Web installers allow you to download only the software components that you require.
Off-line installers will download a large compressed file (about 1400MB) so you may then uncompress it then select what you require to install.
