glitovsky 6 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Hi Everyone, We'd like to announce a new tool we've developed for those using MSP430 with Code Composer Studio called CCS Map analyzer: http://www.argenox.com/products/ccsmapanalyzer/ This tool is completely free and currently supports Windows XP/7 and potentially Windows 8 (yet to be tested). We've released it since we were constantly being asked by customers about Flash and RAM utilization during development and for years we've seen the lack of tools that make it easy to provide this information. You can quickly see the routines that are taking the most space in Flash, instead of manually parsing the MAP file. We know of a few issues that wer'e currently working to fix, but we would love to have feedback from the community, as well as some more documentation. Feel free to download and share with us any issues, comments or new features by dropping us an e-mail at support[at]argenox(dot)com Regards, Argenox Team KatiePier, bluehash, yosh and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for sharing and welcome to 43oh! I normally look at the map file, but this looks like a quick visual tool. Is this a plugin? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glitovsky 6 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Originally we considered a plugin to integrate into Eclipse, but some of the functionality we're thinking of is more advanced. Also, we didn't want to depend on having an installation of CCS which can be a problem (Large 1GB+ download and potential issues). It's a standalone application.

chicken 630 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Looks like the start to something useful, would make a nice addition to Energia. How about a pie-chart that visualizes the total memory used by module? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glitovsky 6 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 Another feature waiting to be implemented. The application doesn't give a lot of info on RAM except total and free. We'll keep you posted when the new version is up with fixes and features. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chicken 630 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 The graphical tool can be accessed under: "View" -> "Other..." -> "Code Composer Studio" -> "Memory Allocation" One learns something new every day - thanks for the links @@Rickta59 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
