CCS Features Wish List?

Started by Bhooshan iyer December 6, 2004


Hi All-

(PS(Pre-Script!): I have posted this mail at c6x too, so if you have
received this mail twice, please accept my apologies. Since i was looking
for maximum opinions i posted at both places.:) )

After few interactions with some experienced developers during the
developers conference, one overwhelming discussion/opinion that surfaced was
that CCS could do with a lot of improvements.

(One very common request was c6000 pipeline insight. I wonder what your
thoughts are on that but some experts at TI gave a crisp one line reply that
"c6000 is an unprotected pipeline hence pipeline analyzer wouldnt be of much
value". Not sure why this would be so?)

(And the other common issue raised was when there is a data transfer problem
between CCS and the target(dsk specifically), the CCS hangs badly and
killing CCS and power cycling the DSP would be the only way out. TI claims
that this has been *fixed* in CCS V3.0)

Anyways, I tried hard to understand if their wish lists were derived
primarily by comparison against some other development environment (like
realview for ARM, gcc , VC++ , green hills etc...) or if they were plain
frustrations based purely on things that CCS could do better. Well the
answers quite well spread to put it one way!

I was wondering what are some of the opinions on this topic here in our user
group and what are some of the features/plugins that you would wish for in
CCS specifically c6000?
