3 Software Examples
3.1

Development Environment Requirements

To use any of the following software examples with the LaunchPad, you must have an integrated
development environment (IDE) that supports the CC3200 device.
For more details on where to download the latest IDE, see
The CC3200 Programmer's guide (SWRU369) has detailed information on software environment setup,
and examples. Please refer to this document for further details on the software sample examples.
3.1.1 CCS
CCS 6.0 or higher is required. When CCS has been launched, and a workspace directory chosen, use
Project → Import Existing CCS Eclipse Project. Direct it to the desired demo's project directory containing
main.c.
3.1.2 IAR
IAR 6.70 or higher is required. To open the demo in IAR, simply choose File → Open → Workspace...,
and direct it to the *.eww workspace file inside the \IAR subdirectory of the desired demo. All workspace
information is contained within this file.
The subdirectory also has an *.ewp project file; this file can be opened into an existing workspace, using
Project → Add-Existing-Project....

4.3

Download CCS, IAR

Although the files can be viewed with any text editor, more can be done with the projects if they're opened
with a development environment
CCS and IAR are each available in a full version, or a free, code-size-limited version. The full out-of-box
demo cannot be built with the free version of CCS or IAR (IAR Kickstart) due to the code size limit. To
bypass this limitation, a code-size-limited CCS version is provided, that has most functionality integrated
into a library. The code that is built into the library is able to be viewed by the user, but it cannot be edited.
For full functionality download the full version of either CCS or IAR.
