A FASTER EMULATOR FOR TMS320C3x DSP
Moorpark, CA – September 1,
2000 – Today Signum Systems announced new, faster drivers for the JDSnet-3x emulator
to support the Texas Instruments TMS320C3x family of Digital Signal Processors.
The new drivers for the TMS320C3x family allow the Code Composer and Chameleon debuggers
to download files 1.5 to 2.3 times faster than the competing ISA-card based emulators.
JDSnet-3x uses the MPSD debug port for accurate breakpoint control and for accessing any
on-chip registers and memory. The emulator offers a fast and powerful debugging tool-set
for the TMS320C30, 31 and 32 DSPs.
JDSnet-3x is equipped with a parallel port to connect to any desktop, notebook or
workstation PC in standard or EPP mode. A separate cable is dedicated for the MPSD debug
port which allows access to the on-chip registers, breakpoints and internal or external
memory.
JDSnet-3x may be bundled with Signum Systems’ Multi-Core Chameleon Debugger™ or
with Texas Instruments’ Code Composer™.
Chameleon Debugger™ is a Multi-Core debugger that supports homogeneous and
heterogeneous devices with one or multi-ICE environment on one debug screen. The Chameleon
Debugger supports all major C compilers (including Texas Instruments) at the source level
with the latest advanced software debugging and analysis features.
Availability
JDSnet-3x and Chameleon Debugger for the TMS320C3x DSP architecture are available now. For
