Code Composer Studio versions

v5.5 [Sep 9, 2013]
New in CCSv5.5.0
· General Enhancements
o MSP430:
· New support for:
MSP430FR5969 Rev. E - ULP debug feature support
MSP430FR5969 Rev. D - Debug support only, NO ULP debug features
MSP430F5259 Family
MSP430F5249 Family
MSP430i2040 Family
MSP430G2xx4 – eZ430 emulator series support update (e.g. for onboard LaunchPad emulation)
· New features:
JTAG password support for MSP430FR59xx series
Added Mathlib to CCS – default for all new, optional for all imported projects (see CCS for MSP430 User’s Guide for details – SLAU157)
Enhanced support for new eZ-FET debuggers (backchannel UART enable/disable via baud rate setting possible)
Changed LPMx.5/Ultra Low Power debugging: Setting breakpoints for MSP430FR5969 now possible when ULP debugging opinion is enabled
Device specific example code templates (Blink LED) for MSP430G2210/MSP430G2230, MSP430L092, MSP430FR5969
Updated Linux Udev Rules creation script for eZ-FET emulator series
· Bug fixes:
eZ-FET now supports MSP430F/G2xx sub-spins
Fixed UART communication on eZ-FET - unstable if handshake lines not used
Fixed potential timeout on data verification (MSP430F6659)
Connection issues resolved on Linux (was: Could not set Vcc), reworked error message in case of blocked port (now: Communication error)
· Known limitations:
On devices with FLL, clock control does not allow to keep clocks running, while the device is halted and the clock is sourced by the FLL
Workaround: none
v1.3 of UIF does not work in SBW2 mode with 2.2nF CAP on Reset Line
Workaround: none
A MSP-FET430UIF firmware update from older DLL versions (up to v3.2.3.15) to v3.2.4.5 and newer versions might not be completed correctly. In this case, the IDE/programmer software won't respond anymore
Workaround: power cycle the debugger (dis-/connect USB) and restart CCS
MSP430i20xx series flash segment size mismatch: software breakpoints, memory window write access and differential download may cause memory corruption
Workaround: use hardware breakpoints only; no workaround for differential download and memory window write access; do not use these features for the i20xx device series
o Stellaris SWO Trace Support:
· Cortex-M3/M4 data watch point (DWT), software instrumentation trace (ITM) and instruction trace (ETM) support via SWO (Serial Wire Output)
· Analysis and visualization includes: Statistical Function Profiler, graph of variable trace, interrupt profile and graph
o Code Coverage for DSP Trace:
· Function and Source line coverage for non-optimized code
o Statistical Function Profile:
· Percentage of time in function
o Debugger / Emulation:
· Added support for XDS200 Emulator
· Added support for debug via the SWD interface for Cortex-M0, Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 based devices with XDS200
· Added support for JTAG-based debug for Cortex-M0
o GUI Composer:
· Support for grid widget (display 2-D arrays)
· UART Support:
Program Model : Custom TI Uart Monitor and TI-RTOS integrated (requires newer version of TI-RTOS)
Streaming Model (custom data is pushed from target)

v5.3 [Nov 3, 2012]
- 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.
