– C/C++ Compiler
– Code generation tools
– Assembler/Linker
– Cycle Accurate Simulator
• Application algorithms
• Sample applications code
Hardware Development Tools

• JTAG-based emulators - SPI515, XDS510PP, XDS510PP Plus, XDS510 USB
• Universal 5-V dc power supply
• Documentation and cables

5.1 Device and Development Support Tool Nomenclature

To designate the stages in the product development cycle, TI assigns prefixes to the part numbers of all
[TMS320] DSP devices and support tools. Each [TMS320] DSP commercial family member has one of
three prefixes: TMX, TMP, or TMS (e.g., TMS320F2812GHH). Texas Instruments recommends two of
three possible prefix designators for its support tools: TMDX and TMDS. These prefixes represent
evolutionary stages of product development from engineering prototypes (TMX/TMDX) through fully
qualified production devices/tools (TMS/TMDS).
TMX—Experimental device that is not necessarily representative of the final device's electrical
specifications
TMP—Final silicon die that conforms to the device's electrical specifications but has not completed
quality and reliability verification
TMS/SM—Fully qualified production device
SMJ—Fully qualified production device
Support tool development evolutionary flow:
TMDX—Development-support product that has not yet completed Texas Instruments internal
qualification testing.
TMDS—Fully qualified development-support product
TMX and TMP devices and TMDX development-support tools are shipped against the following
disclaimer:
Developmental product is intended for internal evaluation purposes.
TMS devices and TMDS development-support tools have been characterized fully, and the quality and
reliability of the device have been demonstrated fully. TI's standard warranty applies.
Predictions show that prototype devices (TMX or TMP) have a greater failure rate than the standard
production devices. Texas Instruments recommends that these devices not be used in any production
system because their expected end-use failure rate still is undefined. Only qualified production devices are
to be used. Figure 5-1 provides a legend for reading the complete device name for any TMS320x28x
family member.
