For DSK C5402 board, I remember that the TI DLL will work, but it is slow and
sometimes you have to download more than once -- occasional memory accesses do
not
"stick".

I'm sorry I cannot be more definitive. I have not used the TI DLLs in a long
time.
In our labs, we use DirectDSP for all DSK boards with a host interface. The
main
reasons are: a) higher transfer rate, b) do not need to pause or halt processor
to
transfer data, so time-sensitive things like monitoring debug data inside an
interrupt routine are possible.
