Full of typos! Arggg... that must be the most incoherent reply ever!

I meant *Not* easily explained *even* by TI employees!

Thanks Mike!
It makes more sense now that you have offered some very clear insights over
two different mails but the problem is that in the normal course of events i
wouldnt have posted this query and would have ended carrying some
micconception. And also these shifts in strategy and positioning is easily
explained even by TI employees!

So thanks a lot!

Bhooshan - FYI,

RE: EVMs
At least one person at TI has indicated that they want to ensure that
DSK-type platforms are "available for the masses" and that TI would only
pursue 'selected' vertical EVMs. Their intent is to leave space for their
third parties to deliver additional 'EVM-type' products [both vertical and
general purpose] to the market.

RE: 6201/6701 EVMs
The first TI 6201 EVM that I used [the design hasn't changed] had a
'pre-Code Composer' TI debugger and ran on Windows 95 [Win 98 was still 'on
the way']. I suspect that it has a few obsolete parts on it.

Bhooshan and others,

A couple of clues are in the acronyms - but when you really look at the life
cycles of various products, it is still a bit confusing.
The following is my understanding [and opinion]...

TEB - Test Evaluation Board. Normally for early adopters of a new device.
the 6416 TEB supported the initial C64x device that was available. examples
and peripherals may be limited for TEBs. These have a JTAG header and
require an emulator.
DSK - DSP Starter Kit. A turnkey package that is low cost, has an on board
emulator, has audio I/O, and example/tutorial programs. Intened for entry
level DSP development.
EVM - EValuation Module. A "professional grade" development platform,
requires an external emulator, may or may not have a 'vertical' focus.

The 6416 TEB was replaced by the 6416 DSK.
I think that jeff's 6711/6713 DSK comments may be accurate.

I do not know this for a fact, but Spectrum Digital has a C6413 {I

I think is the replacement for the TEB.

Ah Bhooshan, you are theoretical today. Yes of course it should be that way.
The
JTAG controller chip - USB interface -- and the way it was implemented in
practice --
is the issue.

Then how come the 6711 communicates faster with the host than the 6713?

Mike-
Thanks for your comments but as you said the big business picture is still
vague. I made some further digging in the TI website and discovered some
more shocking details. Almost all the C6x EVM's are obsolete! including:
670x EVM's and 620x EVM's and the sites dont give info on why they were
discontinued just that the alternate device to use is c6713. Thats it!

Its a different issue that they still sell those same chips in volumes but
no more EVM platforms!

As far as i can see there are only DSK's in the C6000 stable now!

-C6711
-C6712
-C6713
-C6416
-DM Series
-and app dev kits

Could it be because the DSK's were more than adequate for product
development than the heavily priced EVM's?

A couple of clues are in the acronyms - but when you really look at the life cycles of various products, it is still a bit confusing.
The following is my understanding [and opinion]...
 
TEB - Test Evaluation Board.  Normally for early adopters of a new device.  the 6416 TEB supported the initial C64x device that was available.  examples and peripherals may be limited for TEBs.  These have a JTAG header and require an emulator.
DSK - DSP Starter Kit.  A turnkey package that is low cost, has an on board emulator, has audio I/O, and example/tutorial programs. Intened for entry level DSP development.
EVM - EValuation Module. A "professional grade" development platform, requires an external emulator, may or may not have a 'vertical' focus.
 
The 6416 TEB was replaced by the 6416 DSK.
I think that jeff's 6711/6713 DSK comments may be accurate.

I do not know this for a fact, but Spectrum Digital has a C6413 {I
think} DSK. This
I think is the replacement for the TEB.

DSK C6711 has higher performance in host transfer rates because:

-JTAG data does not go through USB-JTAG interface

-has HPI port option

With DSK C6713 board, the maximum host data rate is about 20 kbyte/sec, which
means
it's not suitable for video daughtercard, streaming audio data to disk file,
etc.

Hi All-
I was wondering if some one could help me what reasons go into product
obsolence by TI?

I am quite intrigued by the fact that, TMS320C6713 DSk, which is acknoledged
to be a revision on C6711 co-exists with the latter whereas logically on
would have thought C6711 was a good candidate for retirement? And TEB (6416
based test and evaluation board) was made obsolete inspite of it being
introduced only a couple of years back? What has replaced TEB?

I think it is no secrete here that am confused!
