PCMCIA JTAG emulator endorsed by TI DSP
Kane Computing claims that its Predator PCMCIA JTAG emulator was used by Texas Instruments to communicate with the first TMS320C6416 DSPs to come out of its fab, and it all worked first time.
The 300MHz, 600MMAC performance of the ADSP-21535 DSP integrates a large set of on-chip peripherals with the high-performance DSP core jointly developed by Intel Corp and Analog Devices.
Momentum Data Systems (MDS) also offers the Eagle-35 platform for stand-alone development.
The Hawk-35 and Eagle-35 share the same hardware design, simplifying porting across different development environments.
The Blackfin DSP core is a highly parallel, pipelined architecture that allows users to achieve the most work possible per cycle.
For example, in one single execution cycle, the architecture supports the following: execution of a single instruction operating on both arithmetic units; execution of two 32bit data moves (either two reads or one read/one write); execution of two pointer updates; and execution of hardware loop update.
By processing so much information per cycle, Blackfin DSPs achieve very high-performance in the most intense signal processing applications while minimising power consumption.
The Blackfin DSPs represent a revolutionary change to the traditional tradeoffs that programmers and system architects were forced to make in the past.
Blackfin DSPs incorporate the world's first truly high-performance DSP combined with MCU control functionality all integrated into a single architecture that is easy to develop a system around. Request a free brochure from Kane Computing ...
