poor man H/W &S/WEmulator - babak vafa - May 27 13:00:00 2005
Hi Friends
Suppose we have not Emulator to H/W debug our target DSP board .is there any poor man solution to debug DSP on a board ?is there any IDE software + simple interface for debugging ?
Suppose we have not Emulator to H/W debug our target DSP board .is there any poor man solution to debug DSP on a board ?is there any IDE software + simple interface for debugging ?
any comment or idea
Tnx really

There are only 2 or 3 manufacturers that make JTAG for the '54xx and
they are all in the $500-$1500 range. And CCS is the only compiler
available (although there is now a 90 day eval version) right now.
I don't know of any inexpensive development tools. I've started a
SourceForge project to try to add '54xx support to GNU gcc, but I
haven't had the time to work on it at all. Several others are working on
similar projects but there isn't anything 'useful' out there yet.
In theory any JTAG compatible hardware should work for debugging the
hardware, even a inexpensive Olimex JTAG pod. The hard part is the
closed drivers from TI, they don't tell you how to actually use the JTAG
port. For the MSP430 gcc support they had to include binary only driver
code and sign a NDA to get TI to allow them to add debugging support to
the GNU gdb debugger.

hi,
if u want a poor solution for emulation,u can use DSK with
slightly modified for the purpose.
let me know whether can u afford to buy a DSK or not.
usually it costs around one tenth of emulator price.
regards,
venu.
