Emulators for C3x/VC33

The C30, C31 and C32 devices are unique in the TMS320 range in that they do not support JTAG (IEEE1149.1) debugging, using the MPSD standard instead. Unfortunately, you will need a different emulator (or at least a different emulation pod) for these devices than for all the other devices in the TMS320 range.

The best emulator for these devices is the SPI530 intelligent pod which features an on-board control processor to boost performance an alternative is are the XDS510PP MPSD for users who need a portable solution.

The VC33 device is the latest addition to the C3x DSP family and the only one to feature JTAG debugging. This device will work with most of the emulators we sell.
