Yes, that is code composer. But it is not CCStudio. Studio is a very different package with much better features and other tools that are not available for the "lesser" product lines like the C3x. I believe Craig already has the CC non-Studio. But I may be mistaken. He may be using DOS tools pre-code composer. As I said, I am not an expert... ;) At 01:55 AM 10/13/00, you wrote: >It seems there is some Code Composer product for the C3x family - In the >second quarter, 2000 DSP catalogue, under the C3x Development Tools section >you find... > >C3x/C4x Code Composer IDE, code gen. tools, XDS510 drivers and simulator - >TMDS3240130 $1495 > >I'm assuming the IDE just calls the DOS tools to do the compilation/linking >in this case but debugging/simulation is available through Code Composer. >Current version is 4.1.
