SM2496 SDK v1.11 with TI DSP code - Brian C. Lane - Mar 11 23:10:00 2002



On Friday I released SM2496 SDK v1.11, Licensed under GPL v2.0, on our
website at http://www.shinemicro.com/ This release includes Handspring
Visor code for an Amateur Radio KISS modem and APRS Beacon. It also
has the full TI DSP source for the 1200bps and 9600bps modems, based
on the Linux Soundmodem drivers by Thomas Sailer.

Great to know that DSP programmers like you are believers of Free Software.
I would love to see the full GNU Development suite for a C5402 DSK. I am told
that binutils, gdb etc are already ported for C54x. GCC is the only remaining
piece.

(BTW, I am an employee of TI, these opinions are all my personal opinions,
I don't think TI believes in Free Software Philosophy)

Free software is great if there are enough developers and users that it can
produce viable software. But I don't know if the effort to produce a good
DSP compiler will ever bear fruit considering the number of developers vs.
the special optimizations that are required to code for these chips.

But then I am a doubter of a free software effort for FPGA design as well
for many of the same reasons and there are a number of people (mainly
software folk, I suspect) that disagree with me. Try making a post to
comp.arch.fpga on the topic. It will be almost as bad as starting an
endian war in comp.arch.embedded!

So who knows, a gcc tool may be the best thing to hit DSP!

BTW, when you say that gdb was ported to the C54x, does that mean it
supports the XDS510 emulator? I would love to be able to drop the TI CCS
tools, if it is practical.

Do you know where to find these? I've looked hard for free c54x
tools and the only thing I came up with was a port of the c3x to gcc.

Even an assembler would be an improvement over nothing at all.

They are there in the latest binutils package and GDB package. Just doesnload
the sources and build for C54x architecture. I will try to download them
and build it and will come up with instruction to build and use it.

I heard the GDB directly supports C54x DSKPlus. (Timothy Wall if he is in this
list will be able to provide more info. He wrote the GDB code for C54x, I
believe)

I don't know about that. I can try to find out.

I don't know anything about gdb. I assumed this is a debugger. If it does
not support the XDS510, how does it work? Does this include a simulator?

Just in case you are not familiar with the XDS510, it is a JTAG debugger
and uses dedicated hardware inside the DSP to provide emulation and
breakpoint capabilities.

Yes, I heard it has a simulator. Yes gdb is GNU Debugger, popular in GNU based
operating systems.
I also heard that it works with the DSKPlus and can be used to download programs
etc. I have not
verified this because I don't have access to a GNU/Linux system at office where
I have access to
the DSK card. I am trying to get one for home use. =====
