TMS320C2x Evaluation Module (EVM)The C2x Evaluation Module (EVM) provides a low-cost development board for device evaluation, benchmarking, and limited system debug. The EVM is a half-size AT board with an industry standard TMS320C26 DSP, 80-ns instruction cycle time, 1568 word of on-chip RAM; with pin compatibility and identical peripherals with the C25. This allows the EVM to be used to evaluate either C25 or C26 for suitability with an application.The EVM uses embedded scan-based emulation via the on-board Test Bus Controller (TBC) IC. Using the scan path, the Debugger Software can run and halt the C2x and scan in and out all of the bits of each register. This basically gives XDS/22 capability for a fixed target system enabling you to evaluate the C2x DSP and tools or begin development of software before your hardware is complete. EVM features include:
The C2x EVM package includes the PC Assembly Language Tools which consists of the assembler, archiver, linker and hex conversion utility. The C compiler is sold separately. The C2x EVM package also includes the same TMS320 Debugger Interface that is used with all TMS320 Simulator, Emulator and EVM products. |
