Dear All, We are developing a project based on TMS320c541 .We wanted to know the memory location at which the bootloader code in c541 is written ,and whether it is factory programmed or we will have to get it programmed through TI depending on our Boot Mode. I will be happy if you please refer to pg.no 67 CPU and Pheripheral(TMS320c54x-Reference set SPRU131c.pdf) in which the memory location of the DSP processors c542/c543/c548 are given but those of c541/c545/546 are not given . I will be highly obliged if you can solve my problem !. Thanking you. With Regards Prashant Tajne |

Prashant Tajne- I think it is going to be difficult for you to receive advice on the C541 processor, which is obsolete. You might consider using at least C549 or C5402. Probably cost is your issue, but you should at least check into cost of C5402.

Tushar Bhoir- >Thanks a lot for your reply !

So kindly, if possible, give us >some information on the availibility of c541.We will be very thankful if you >can do this favour to us. I have checked with Texas Inst, and the VC541 is indeed obsolete. However, the C541 (5v part) and the LC541 (3.3v part) are still active. But I have also confirmed that in all cases, the C5402 is lower cost. Of course, it goes without saying that the C5402 has better performance, more features, more memory, etc. For me, equally important is the fact you would get better support from peer groups and other Internet resources since the C5402 device is actively being used by a relatively large number of engineers who are in a design phase. My recommendation would be to go with the C5402. Yes in 4-5 years this device could be obsolete also -- but that's the way it goes in engineering and design. You have to continually upgrade your products and generate new ones that use new technology -- or someone else will do it for you ;-) Jeff Brower DSP sw/hw engineer Signalogic |
