Starter Kit TMS320C3x in Windows XP

Hello Miszael A driver is needed for the WinNT variant OS's, WinNT, Win2K and WinXP. If the driver was not installed, starting DSK3DW or any of the Windows based applications should have caused an error message to pop up leading you to the driver. The confusing part of the driver is that to make the S/W free, it could not contain anything that had a license and fee to it. What was opted for was to use one of two publicly available drivers from the web. The error string that should have been displayed is given below. By the way... this is the newest S/W from the TI web? Though the applications are mostly VC33 DSK based, the debugger, code gen tool and a few of the Windows applications will work with the C31 DSK. http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/tmdsdsk33.html Your problem description is also a bit vague. By 'Win98 Application' do you mean that the application is a Windows applications running in a windows-window, or a DOS/Console application running in a command-window? If it is the latter XP will be a pain (or more likely impossible), which is why the DSK applications were migrated to true windows applications (allowing the drivers to be installed and used). Yes programming Windows is much more complex to write and debug compared to a simple console application, but that is sometimes the price we pay for progress. The good news is that it does bring things back into alignment with other PC advances like the possibility of using a USB port. Incidentally, after leaving TI, this is one of the first things I have done with the VC33/DSK tools. It is rather nice ot have a DSK that does not even need an external power supply (USB has plenty to run this DSP)! I would have like to had a USB-based version of the VC33 DSK out under my own name, but have been tied up on another project. This may happen in a few months, when and if my business partner and I get past our present project. On another note. At one time I was told that there is a Win98 compatibility mode that might work... but you have to hack away at the OS (and pray that it does not die - XP dies even better than Win98) to make it work. Basically, pursue this at your own peril! By the way... what is 'Algun Controller'?

Hello Keith, It would be nice to have a USB based version of the VC33, let me know when you offer the card, if it is your plan. And in Miszael email. I think "algun" is equal to some.

The attached file allows JEdit (an open source Java text editor) to do proper syntax highlighting for C3x assembly files. Enjoy, Bill Finger | |||

Hi Bill This is pretty cool. Now if JEdit could take on child windows, or if it had the underpinnings for a debugger interface, it it might even be possible to plug in an HLL interface. When I was at TI and wrote the DSK interface I was not allowed to use 'open source' because it opened TI up to that license agreement. So I basically wrote everything from scratch. Not that this was all bad because I now have a big pile of code to use for other things, but I am also no longer constrained. Other options become open!
