Workspace Setup

Download the Workspace

Download the provided workspace archive (link provided on every lab).
Once downloaded, extract the folder to a location you can easily find, for example:

Folder Organization

When you open your workspace, you will find two main folders:

DirectoryLab_x
- DirectoryLab_x_workspace
  - …
- DirectoryLibraries
  - …

Open Workspace in CCS

When you launch Code Composer Studio, a window will appear asking you to select a workspace:

In this dialog:

Click Browse… and navigate to the folder where you extracted the workspace.
Select the extracted workspace directory.
Click Launch.

After launching, CCS will open using the provided workspace configuration.
Inside that workspace, you should see a template project folder “LabX” where you will develop your labs.
