SPRS268E – MAY 2005 – REVISED JANUARY 2007
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.
2.10.2.1 Device and Development-Support Tool Nomenclature
To designate the stages in the product development cycle, TI assigns prefixes to the part numbers of all
DSP devices and support tools. Each DSP commercial family member has one of three prefixes: TMX,
TMP, or TMS (e.g., TMS320C6727GDH250). Texas Instruments recommends two of three possible prefix
designators for its 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
Final silicon die that conforms to the device’s electrical specifications but has not completed
quality and reliability verification
TMS
Fully-qualified production device
Support tool development evolutionary flow:
TMDX
Development support product that has not yet completed Texas Instruments internal
qualification testing
TMDS
Fully qualified development support product
TMX and TMP devices and TMDX development-support tools are shipped against the following
disclaimer:
“Developmental product is intended for internal evaluation purposes."
TMS 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.
