Hi Bob CC 4.xx will work with NT kernel based OS's but the only drivers that work are those for the newer JTAG hardware platforms, the XDS510PP and XDS510USB platforms. The XDS510 ISA platform is the one that has not been updated since it is getting more and more difficult to find PC's with ISA busses in them. We are also looking into CC 2.x, both for JTAG and the DSK kernel mode drivers. The only problem is that 2.x has a bunch of holes in it and it caused a tremendous headache when the C2xxx was ported to it. There is a debate on wether effort should be put into the old, present or next version of CC. Personally, my experience with 'next' has always been problematic as problems never seem to be fixed for the 'present'. What might not happen is continuing support of the C30,C31,C31 since those devices are the old non-JTAG MPSD scan chain devices. This even happens to be one of the reasons the VC33 was created in the first place. Get everything onto JTAG.

We use Windows 2000. I've heard rumors that people have gotten it to work, but when I tried, it couldn't find a DLL it needed. TI has no plans to improve CC for these older DSPs. - Bob Weber --- "Keith E. Larson" <> wrote: > To: "bowbellringing" <>, > > From: "Keith E.
