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). For
information on pricing and availability, contact the nearest TI field sales office or authorized distributor.
3.1 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 family member has one of three prefixes;
TMX, TMP, or TMS. TI recommends two of three possible prefix designators for 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
SM
Final silicon die that conforms to the device's electrical specifications but has not completed quality
and reliability verificationf
Fully qualified production device
Support tool development evolutionary flow:
TMDX
TMDS
Development-support product that has not yet completed Texas Instruments internal qualification
testing.
Fully qualified development-support product
TMX and TMP devices and TMDX development-support tools are shipped with appropriate disclaimers
describing their limitations and intended uses. Experimental devices (TMX) may not be representative of a
final product and Texas Instruments reserves the right to change or discontinue these products without
notice.
SM 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.
