Code Explorer communication kernel

Started by Ninad Thakoor March 14, 2002
Hi,

I am working on TMS320C3x DSK for developing laboratory experiments for
undergraduate students. The problem is I am not able get Code Explorer kernel
from anywhere as this software by GO-DSP is no more available for download.
Although Texas Instruments site says this software is available for free
download, I am not able to find the download link or location for the software. I will be really thankful if you help me getting this kernel!!

Hi Ninad, I'm in the same situation of You.
Take a look at the link of TI:

http://focus.ti.com/docs/tool/toolfolder.jhtml?PartNumber=TMDS3200031
(Select Code Explorer Debugger)

I tried many times to download it, but failed. I think there's a problem on
the page.
Please tell me if You can download and install it. Best regards,

Well I think that its no more available on these links.I downlaoded it from
University of Washington's site.Now that site requires a password as well.I
have kept that at:

http://briefcase.yahoo.com/husnainalam

Anybody can go and get that.Plus did anyone in this group using TIGER31/PC
from DSP Research????? Regards & Allah Haafiz.

Hi all

Then I guess I can stop looking for it, and download it myself for archival
purposes.

I will see about getting it posted to the FTP site, but I doubt it will get
past the TI Internet Gestapo. They wont allow anything to be put on the FTP
site that is not currently supported, even for archival purposes.

BTW, it sounds like a few of you might be interested in the new Windows
based tools and demos for the DSK. The FFT/OScilloscope DEMO has been
finished for a long time and the new debugger /application interface is to
the point where it needs some alpha abuse. If interested, let me know and I
will send you the latest source and exe's. BTW, the older tools and demos
have been upgraded as well. Some new highlights include

- COFF C/ASM source tracking. Older DSK3D versions supported HLL
tracking but this is a bit more advanced.

- Call stack visablity of variables on the stack
This is a memory window that starts at current frame pointer
and regresses downward to show the named values on stack as
they were pushed on with each frame shown in a different color.

- Global variable visablity. Also a memory window with symbols
shown but starting at .bss

- Graphing: Graphical breakpoints can be defined in the application
indicating to the debugger that when one is encountered it should
update the graphing window. A few other locations are then used
to tell the debugger what type of data, where and how long, as well
as how to scale the screen. These locations can be modified by
the running application to create an interactive display.

- Application control buttons. They act like up/down buttons when
you click on the left or right but will also open up a dialog box
when you click in the middle. The values you see are those that
are read from the target. When you update these values they are
downloaded to the application. A lot of ways to use them!

- Integrated command and watch window

- Patch assembly

- A single DLL containing embedded DSK control, file load and
conversion, assembly, disassembly, expression analysis, symbol
lookup and more.

- Integrated editor (this needs some work)

- Build control (this needs the most work)
