1 Introduction

This application note is designed to assist developers in migrating code and projects written with IAR Embedded Workbench to Code Composer Studio (CCS). IAR and CCS are two widely used embedded development environments provided by IAR Systems and Texas Instruments, respectively. There are differences in functionality, interface design, and usage habits between the two, so special attention needs to be paid to compatibility and configuration issues during the migration process. This document provides detailed steps and considerations for migrating from IAR to CCS, helping developers complete the code migration smoothly. Although there are differences between the two in some aspects, careful inspection and adjustments can achieve a seamless transition. For new users, TI recommends to be familiar with the operation methods and interface layout of CCS to adapt more quickly.
