Mike ...
I have a DSP56811EVM kit which I'm almost positive included the Domain
Technologies debugger and the Motorola freebie C compiler and assembler.
After playing with the '002 and the '307 I really didn't care
much at all
for the '811 as it hacked away to much of the best of the DSP
capabilities
I was used to in order to fit in the general purpose microprocessor
functions. I hardly used it at all before I tossed it in the
"archive"
box. I know where my old kit is but haven't rummaged through it yet, and
would be happy to part with it if it is of any help to you. E-mail me
directly if you have any interest.
Blessings in abundance, all the best, and ENJOY!
