Overview

This page contains information regarding Code Composer Studio v8 running on macOS. It includes installation instructions, device support and debug probe support.

CCS is typically tested with the most current version and previous version of macOS available at the time of release.

Download and Install

Proceed with instructions for download and install shown in section 3 of the CCS User's Guide.

In case super user permissions are not available AND the complete (offline) installer is being executed, make sure to remove it from quarantine status by issuing the following command:

• xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine ccs_setup_8.0.0.00016.app

Failing to do so will cause macOS to copy the executable to another folder and run it from there, thus fooling the installer into believing it is an on-demand (web) installer and causing it to re-download all components.

Uninstall

Run <CCS_INSTALL_DIR>/ccsv8/uninstall_ccs.app.

If the uninstaller fails for some reason, it is safe to delete everything under the <CCS_INSTALL_DIR>/ccsv8 directory to complete the uninstall.
