2.9 Device Support
2.9.1 Development Tools
TI offers an extensive line of development tools for device systems, including tools to evaluate the
performance of the processors, generate code, develop algorithm implementations, and fully integrate and
debug software and hardware modules. The tools support documentation is electronically available within
the Code Composer Studio™ Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
The following products support development of device 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
Hardware Development Tools:
Extended Development System (XDS™) Emulator (supports TMS320DM368 DMSoC multiprocessor
system debug) EVM (Evaluation Module)
For a complete listing of development-support tools for the TMS320DM368 DMSoC platform, visit the
Texas Instruments web site on the Worldwide Web at http://www.ti.com. For information on pricing and
availability, contact the nearest TI field sales office or authorized distributor.
2.9.2 Device 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., ). 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:
"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 is undefined. Only qualified production devices are to
be used in production.
