I need an emulator for 6713. What I want is a particular emulator which is able
to show me all pins in order to test my daugther card because I'm not sure
of the particular function of each pinout.
Thank you.

Emulators for TI DSPs are all basically the same. They fall into 2 classes, XDS510 [basic emulation, low to moderately priced] and XDS560 [faster and more expensive, supports HS-RTDX, upgradeable to support new features].
The emulators provide basic debugging [hw & sw breakpoints, step, run, halt], memory and register access, and access to advanced emulation hardware features on devices that support it. Any additional debugging features, like profiling, are built on top of these capabilities.
W.R.T. the daughtercard pin functionality, there is no subtitute for understanding the DSP data sheet and the schematics of the host card [most of the daughtercard pins are just buffered signals directly from the DSP. The only way that I know to troubleshoot these signals is with a logic analyzer or scope. I am sure that if you run into problems with a specific signal or set of signals that someone will be able to help you.

thank you for the reply. Maybe I have been not very clear. The problem is that
I'm projecting a daugther card and what I want is a simulator (like Matlab
or something else) which is able to rapesent all my components (all DSP pin and
other component) in order to simulate my entire project before to do it.
thank you

Can MATLAB DSK board simulations include an arbitrary "EMIF port" block?
An arbitrary "McBSP port" block? If so then maybe you can do something
along the lines of what you're looking for.
In any case, this sounds like a great introduction for you to the real
world of engineering. If it was easy and everything could be simulated
then anyone could do it! But it's not. Many times DSP engineers end up
in the lab with scope and analyzer trying to figure things out, as Mike
indicated. Hope you like lab work :-)
