2.10 Development

2.10.1 Development Support

TI offers an extensive line of development tools for the TMS320C6000™ DSP platform, including tools to evaluate the performance of the processors, generate code, develop algorithm implementations, and fully integrate and debug software and hardware modules.

The following products support development of C6000™ DSP-based applications:

Software Development Tools:

Code Composer Studio™ Integrated Development Environment (IDE): including Editor

C/C++/Assembly Code Generation, and Debug plus additional development tools

Scalable, Real-Time Foundation Software (DSP/BIOS™), which provides the basic run-time target software needed to support any DSP application.

Hardware Development Tools:

Extended Development System (XDS™) Emulator (supports C6000™ DSP multiprocessor system debug) EVM (Evaluation Module)

For a complete listing of development-support tools for the TMS320C6000™ DSP platform, visit the Texas Instruments web site on the Worldwide Web at http://www.ti.com uniform resource locator (URL).

2.10.2 Device Support

2.10.2.1 Device and Development-Support Tool Nomenclature

To designate the stages in the product development cycle, TI assigns prefixes to the part numbers of all DSP devices and support tools. Each DSP commercial family member has one of three prefixes: TMX, TMP, or TMS (e.g., TMS320C6727GDH250). 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).

Device development evolutionary flow:

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 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:

“Developmentalproduct 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.
