Ok, I see what you mean. The individual tool versions are totally
unrelated to the package version.

I see 4.0.1.0 for the debugger. Other versions from the about box:

ADSP-21xxx JTAG Emulator (Summit): 4.20.1
Symbol Manager: 3.1.7.1
Processor (ADSP-210xx) DLL: 2.1.3.1

I think that should work, but check with ADI support to verify. VDSP
should use regular comm port API's, so the only real question is
whether it can use any unusual device name the driver comes up with.
You don't say whether you're using Win9x or Win2k. I know they behave a
little differently with comm port names. When opening a non-standard
name (ie. not "com1" but something like "octalport-1-2") you might need
to put "\\.\" in front of the device name.

Please reply on the mailing list so others can benefit from any new
info.
