CCSTUDIO-THEIA

Bug Fixes

• XDS110 serial number could be corrupted on a split launchpad
• Many build and project system related improvements.

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.   

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.

• Target Configuration View
• Project-less debug support

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.
