TI's New Code Composer Studio™ Cuts Coding Time Up to 50 PercentMost Comprehensive Software Environment in DSP IndustryHOUSTON (Sept.14, 1998) -- The industry's first open, integrated digital signal processing (DSP) software development environment, Code Composer Studio, and its initial supporting third party plug-in tools, was demonstrated today by Texas Instruments (TI) at the DSP World Conference in Toronto. TI's Code Composer Studio combines the most advanced DSP software tools technologies which can reduce the average DSP coding time by up to 50 percent or more thus easing many of the complexities of DSP development. Designers can now bring applications such as wireless base stations, remote access servers, digital subscriber loop systems, high-end visioning and imaging systems and voice-over-packet to market more easily, more reliably and with increased capabilities. And by reducing DSP development complexity, Code Composer Studio frees designers to differentiate their products and deliver more value to their customers. "The real-time analysis and debug capabilities of Code Composer Studio can help programmers find and understand system problems in minutes that could otherwise take weeks, or even worse, only be discovered in the field," said Wayne Lieberman, worldwide manager of business development for TI's Software Development Systems. "Not only will Code Composer Studio save our customers valuable time, but we are confident that developers can create products that are more robust and deployed ahead of schedule." Foundation Technologies Contribute to Integration Code Composer Studio is a development environment that extends and integrates the capabilities of the Code Composer Integrated Development Environment (IDE), DSP/BIOS and Real-Time Data Exchange (RTDX™) technologies and the TI C compiler, Assembly Optimizer and linker all within an extensible plug-in architecture. These foundation technologies all contribute to the highest level of host/target integration in the DSP industry, which enables Code Composer Studio's key features of open host/target plug-in tools, real-time analysis and debugging and advance data and system visualization. Designers can now extend their TI development system with a wide variety of specialized third-party tool plug-ins that support specific application needs. As a result, DSP developers no longer have to spend time and resources developing customized utilities and can focus on their specific expertise. "Code Composer Studio's open environment gives MathWorks DSP Workshop users real-time access to code and data on the target," said Ken Karnofsky, DSP marketing manager at The MathWorks, the industry's leading developer of DSP algorithm design and simulation software. "We have demonstrated how Code Composer Studio plug-in tools can help engineers shrink development cycles through greater integration between The MathWorks' MATLAB® and Simulink® products and TI's DSP software development tools." Real-time analysis and debugging allows designers to view data from the DSP application without stopping execution, thus supporting quick identification of problems during design, development and in the field. Advanced data visualization lets signals and data from the target be seen more naturally, as an image instead of text. This is essential to developers for identifying and viewing unexpected application behavior in real-time. This capability is now critical to DSP developers as emerging systems incorporate processing that requires more signal complexity than ever before. Price and Availability Code Composer Studio is scheduled to be available on PC (Windows™ 95/98/NT™) in first quarter 1999 for $2,995 and will initially support the following TMS320C6000 target configurations: TMS320C6201 Evaluation Module (EVM), XDS-510 Emulator and the 'C6000 Instruction Set Architecture Simulator. Existing 'C6000 development tool customers with subscription service will be upgraded to Code Composer Studio. No run-time royalties are associated with Code Composer Studio, so developers may freely use all run-time support features at no additional cost.
