Hello,
I will like to know which are the fondamental difference between Code Composer Essentials and the GNU Compiler (MSPGCC + GDB + Eclipse IDE)

Because CCE is based on Eclipse IDE + GDB !?

That is really equivalent and which are the limitations ?

Thanks.
Best regards

Vincent

I think an immediate difference is that, GCC is free.

Code composer costs! For the download version, there is a 8KB limitation in C coding.

There may be certain optimization levels between the two compliers for sure.

But I just don't know which one is better.
