GO DSP is pleased to announce the addition of more features in Code ComposerVersion 2.0, the latest release of its advanced fully integrated DSP code development environment. In addition to MS-Windows™ 3.1 and 95, Code Composer V 2.0 now also supports the Windows NT platform under the same part number (see below). Version 2.0 is available in January, 1997 from GO DSP, Texas Instruments worldwide distribution network and authorized Third-Party hardware vendors. A FREE upgrade to V 2.0 is available to qualified users.

Code Composer is a tightly Integrated Development Environment that offers: code editing with background compiling, animated run with graphical signal watch, injection/extraction of signals/data via File I/O with advanced triggering, interactive profiling and analysis, full multi-processing support, DSP project management and much more. Code Composer's unique features are not available elsewhere in the DSP industry; they dramatically reduce development costs and minimize the time-to-market of DSP-based products.

New features have been added in Version 2.0 to Code Composer's already extensive feature set. The new features include:

Support for MS-Windows NT:

• Quick Watch functionality allows the developer to view variables and their values instantaneously
• On-the-fly patch assembler allows developers to modify opcodes on-the-fly during an animation (without having to re-compile and re-assemble)
• Algebraic dis-assembly support for the C54x DSP allows the user to see the opcodes in an easy-to-understand, not cryptic, format
• Drag & Drop functionality from the Microsoft File Manager to open a file as a source window for editing
• Source file printing is now supported in the File menu item
• New and improved Project Management features include a 1000 line build window buffer and a new order for linking files
• Improved multiprocessor setup and configuration for easier addition of a large number of processors
  

Code Compose supports nearly all members of the TMS320 family. They are listed below along with the appropriate part number:
