2.1.2 The IDE Supported By MSPM0

An integrated development environment (IDE) is a software application that helps programmers develop software code efficiently, which normally includes editor, compiler, debugger and so on.

The typical IDE of RL78 is e2studio, which can download sample code and has an easy-to-use Eclipse code editor. As for TI, Code Composer Studio IDE (CCS) is highly recommended, which supports TI's microcontroller (MCU) and embedded processor portfolios. As CCS is also an Eclipse-based IDE, users can get started easily. Specifically, CCS comprises a series of tools used to develop and debug embedded applications including an optimizing C/C++ compiler, source code editor, project build environment, debugger, profiler and many other features. Also, CCS is completely free to use.

CCS integrates MSPM0 device configuration and auto-code generation from SysConfig as well as MSPM0 code examples and academy trainings in the integrated TI Resource explorer. What's more, CCS offers an all-in-one development tool experience.

In addition to CCS, MSPM0 devices are also supported in industry-standard IDEs listed in Table 2-6.
