Configuring Code Composer Studio for XML-Defined Devices

This document describes how to create an XML based configuration for new devices with Code Composer Studio. Historically, drivers exposed register information for each device through the Target Protocol Interface (TPI) layer, which required code changes for every new device. Starting with Code Composer Studio (CCStudio) 3.2, a new approach was taken: a Register Server component can optionally read device-specific XML files that define all the registers for a device. However, CCStudio must associate the appropriate XML file with the configuration loaded through CCSetup. This is accomplished by adding another step to the creation of a device configuration.
