Where is the best place to acquire this DSK? Production distribution channels that carry TI products really do not want to be bothered by such a small order and I get 10 weeks time to delivery type of responses. Why does TI not carry this in its web store like it does the dsks for other families? |

Hi Dan (?) Just to make things more confused, I just found out that the product has apparantly been re-named. It is now the TMDSDSK33 rather than the older TMDS3P761381 nomenclature! I think that a lot of this has to do with the fact that the VC33 DSK was supposed to be in the e-store, with a nice glitzy web page and all, but but typical of a big company, the left and right hands of the marketing department are uncoordinated. I did do some checking and the VC33 DSK is in stock here at the factory. What is supposed to happen when a customer wants a board is that the distributor calls TI and TI ships the product from here as a drop ship. TI typically ships within a day so it comes down to the distributors diligence and speed. In a possibly related way, the internal sales guy (who does not sit too far off) was asked a mysteriously similar question but from the distributors perspective. They are in the process of getting that cleared up. Ill forward any new information to the group Best regards, Keith Larson ============================================ At 05:50 PM 9/23/03 -0000, you wrote: Where is the best place to acquire this DSK?

Hi Sean, The TI internet site is still busted... and by the way along with a lot of other links. I keep getting daily promises of 'tommorrow'. Needless to say this is frustrating to me and certainly for you. I can email attach the newest version (2.03) if you like. The other option is to go to the Spectrum Digital web site and download 2.02 Keith ------------- At 03:25 AM 10/22/03 -0000, you wrote: >Hi folks, > >I'm not sure if you completed the order of the TMDSDSK33, but if not, I'm >proud say I just got mine in the mail today. > >i just called Arrow Electronics and they sent me the part number.

Hi Steve This information is in the DSK3HELP.HLP help file and that was updated some time back (use F1 key within a windows application or open with Explorer). Still a number of boards have been built with the old documentation and software. Unless you have an alpha or beta board, and I dont see how you could since I personally sent those out, the boards are all identical. Go here to get the latest. http://dspvillage.ti.com/docs/catalog/resources/appnoteabstract.jhtml?family Id2&abstractName=spra976 If you were referring to the old C31 DSK PDF file, then you are definitely driving off into the weeds. This was put in the package as a courtesy to C31 DSK users (yes the C31 DSK can be used with these tools). If you want a hard copy of the schematics, look in the \DSK3\DSK3\IMAGES directory. There you will find the schematics in both PDF and BMP form. The reason for having both is that BMPs are the only thing that the help compiler (IE, all the sources are included) will accept. Incidentally, if anyone downloaded the code between 1-2 days ago the installer had a problem where the directories were lost. This version should be OK Best regards, Keith Larson ------- At 08:54 PM 11/13/03 -0000, you wrote: Hey Everyone, I reciently got this DSK and when looking through the documentation it appeared the board layout and schematic is different in the docs then what I have sitting in front of me. It's somewhat difficult to know where I should apply my signals if I don't know what is pinned out to what. Does anyone have any ideas on where I could get this information? The lack of documentation is starting to get to me! :( It seems like a great DSP and one that is fairly straight forward to use, which is good because I haven't done this stuff in a while but after fighting with it for the day I figured it was time for some help.
