Hi, Regarding the Tasking Cross view debugger: Our company in looking into aquiring a CrossView debugger for the MOT56xxx devices. Does anyone use one of these? If so, does it ship with hardware to connect to the target board or do we also have to buy extra hardware? I assume if we do it would be from motorola? Is this correct? ADS? Cheers Graeme |

Graeme, All the Tasking tools should be compatible with the available Suite56 Command Converters (Parallel Port and PCI). I think you've mentioned before that you currently have a Parallel Port version correct? If so you should have all the interface hardware required. Have you looked at the Suite56 tools yet? I've never personally used the Tasking ones so I couldn't give any comparison. However, I do that there is a huge difference in cost. The Suite56 tools are free. ;) http://www.metrowerks.com/MW/Develop/Embedded/suite56.htm --- Graeme Fisher <> wrote: > Hi, > > Regarding the Tasking Cross view debugger: > > Our company in looking into aquiring a CrossView debugger for the > MOT56xxx devices.

Tasking does not sell hardware. You may want to buy an ADS or some type of Command Converter if you want to connect to a custom target board. The parallel port command converter is not built by Motorola, but it is the cheapest.

I use the Tasking Crossview debugger (and Tasking C tools for DSP56xxx). The debugger does not ship with hardware to connect to the target. You can configure it to work with the debug port of the 56xxx EVM boards, and also with the Parallel Command Converter to connect to the JTAG connector (). I have used Crossview in both of these modes. I bought my command converters from a third-party, don't remember the vendor name, sorry. As I recall it was <$200 which is cheap if you've ever priced emulator hardware. I just looked at my Crossview target configuration dialog, and it looks like it supports many other emulator hardware options, including SB56K from Domain Technologies (http://www.domaintec.com/), ADM, and something called PCI CC 563xx (I'm not familiar with that one).

The PCI CC 563xx is likely refering to the Suite56 PCI Command Converter. It's basically just a PCI card version of the Parallel Port Command Converter, which is specifically geared for workstations, like Sun, that don't have parallel ports. However, it is compatible with Windows based host systems as well. --- "wygonski <>" <> wrote: > I just looked at my Crossview target configuration dialog, and it > looks like it supports many other emulator hardware options, > including > SB56K from Domain Technologies (http://www.domaintec.com/), ADM, and > something called PCI CC 563xx (I'm not familiar with that one). > > John Wygonski > __________________________________________________ |

The Parallel Port Command Converter was designed and is manufactured by Macraigor Systems. However, it is available from Motorola under the part number DSPCOMMPARALLEL. --- mike belanger <> wrote: > The parallel port command converter is not built by Motorola, but it > is the > cheapest. > (http://www.ocdemon.net/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=MTS&Product\ _Code=WIGGLER) __________________________________________________ |

And presumably it's a lot faster than my Parallel Command Converter? (I
get impatient waiting more than a few seconds downloading a file with large blocks of filter coefficients :). > -----Original Message----- > From: dbaudiopro [mailto:] > Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 12:35 PM > To: wygonski <>; > Subject: Re: [motoroladsp] Re: Tasking debugger > The PCI CC 563xx is likely refering to the Suite56 PCI Command > Converter.

Not from my experience with both of them no. I've never put each to
a stop watch, nor a "head to head" competition. But I've used both for loading the same code and didn't notice any difference. And yes it was a large enough chunck of code to notice a difference (~45 seconds of download time). --- John Wygonski <> wrote: > And presumably it's a lot faster than my Parallel Command Converter? > (I get > impatient waiting more than a few seconds downloading a file with > large > blocks of filter coefficients :). > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: dbaudiopro [mailto:] > > Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 12:35 PM > > To: wygonski <>; > > Subject: Re: [motoroladsp] Re: Tasking debugger > > > > > > The PCI CC 563xx is likely refering to the Suite56 PCI Command > > Converter.
