RTSC / XDC (eXpanDed C) is a standard for reusable software components, optimized for real-time embedded systems. RTSC components have hardware-neutral formal interfaces, are configurable offline to optimize memory and performance, and support custom automation in the development environment via a scripting language.
The XDCtools product includes the following components:
xdc.*
) -
the xdc
and xs
command line utilities for
building packages and executing scripts respectively; packages that implement
the RTSC standard;xdc.tools.*
)
- command-line and graphical utilities for working with packages and
repositories;*.targets.*
)
- definitions for using various TI and third-party compiler tool chains;*.platforms.*
)
- definitions for linking and running code on various TI and third-party
board-level hardware and simulator products.eclipse
)
- A set of integration plugins for RTSC for the eclipse platform.
These plugins are leveraged by Code Composer Studio (CCS) to provide
support for RTSC content in an integrated development environment.Almost all of XDCtools is released under either EPL v1.0 or dual-licensed under EPL or EDL v1.0. However, there are also a number of third-party components included which are made available under a number of other open-source licenses. A complete list is detailed here.
The product documentation for this release is available in two formats:
Both formats are delivered with the product in the docs subdirectory. The most up-to-date docs can also be viewed in the RTSC-pedia.
Release notes from previous product releases are available in the relnotes_archive directory.
The following significant changes are included in XDCtools 3.24 :
In addition, the following defects resolved in this release:
ID | Headline |
---|---|
399006 | ti.targets.*.C6* linker command files are missing .ppinfo and .ppdata sections |
399007 | gnu.targets.M3/M4/M4F do not support 'clock()' and possibly other POSIX APIs |
399012 | ti.targets.arm.ARP32_far link may fail |
400245 | Boot.xml file in catalog.arm.cortexm3.lm3init has bad copyright header |
403849 | update MSP430 target to support 4.2.0 compiler (_cleanup_ptr -> __TI_cleanup_ptr name change) |
The ti.targets.arm
and ti.targets.rts470
packages have been
removed. If you are using any of the targets supported by these
packages, you'll need to use the equivalient targets that are in the
ti.targets.arm.elf
package and their corresponding runtime support
package ti.targets.arm.rtsarm
.
All generated package internal files are forwards and backwards compatible starting from XDCtools 3.20. So, packages created using this release can be consumed by XDCtools 3.20 or later. Conversely, packages created using XDCtools 3.20 or later can be consumed using this release. See XDCtools Internal Version Numbers for additional details.
The packages comprising the XDCtools release are uniquely identified by a
compatibility key defined in the package.xdc
file of a package. Please note that the package compatibility keys are
independent of XDCtools product release numbers (described in Versioning below).
Package compatibility keys:
Package compatibility keys are composed of 4 comma-delimited numbers - M, S, R, P - where:
This release supports the following hosts:
This release requires the following other software components and tools versions to successfully function:
This release supports the following device families:
The complete list of targets supported by this release can be found here.
This release was built and validated using Code Composer Studio version 5.3.0.
The targets supported by this release and the versions of the compilers used to validate them are listed here.

All releases have 4 digits (M.mm.pp.bb). This includes GA and pre-releases (engineering, release candidates, etc.). Pre-releases are denoted with a suffix (e.g. 3.15.01.51-eng) and should not be used in a production environment.
This product's version follows a version format, M.mm.pp.bb, where M is a single digit Major number, mm is 2 digit minor number, pp is a 2 digit patch number, and b is an unrestricted set of digits used as an incrementing build counter.
To support multiple side-by-side installations of the product, the product version is encoded in the top level directory, ex. xdctools_3_15_00_50.
Subsequent releases of patch upgrades will be identified by the patch number, ex. XDCtools 3.15.01.67 with directory xdctools_3_15_01_67. Typically, these patches only include critical bug fixes.
Please note that version numbers and compatibility keys are NOT the same. For an explanation of compatibility keys, please refer to the 'Upgrade and Compatibility Information' section.
Support questions on the product should be posted to the Eclipse RTSC project's newsgroup. Check the XDCtools download site for the latest releases.
