In
software development, perhaps the most critical, yet least predictable stage
in the process is debugging. Time required to set up and debug a software
application can have a major impact on time-to-market, meeting customer
expectations, and ultimately market share. TI's Code
Composerdebugger in conjunction with a compatible emulator allows
the software engineer to understand what changes are taking place inside
the processor as the application executes. This in turn leads to better
code and reduced development time
Kane Computing
have been supplying and supporting Code Composer
compatible emulators for the TMS320 range of DSP's for over 5 years and
have built up an unparalleled portfolio of emulation products.
For portable
applications using Parallel Port or USB
based emulator is the best solution. For Desktop debugging solutions then
ISA and PCI
cards are also an option and for remote debugging we have emulators which
can be used over a LAN.
Each DSP
family in the TMS320 range has its own particular requirements of an emulator.

comparison document (below) or take a look at our
recommendations for each family.
