Emulator & Debugger : GAO TDS560 (Backward Compatible with XDS510)USB TI DSP Emu

Short Description - GAO TDS560 USB TI DSP Emulator

GAO TDS560 USB TI DSP Emulator is based on TI XDS560 technology and designed to be used with digital signal processors (DSP) operating at 1.0-5.0 volts. The emulator itself is a USB device. It is fully plug and play compatible. GAO TDS560 USB TI DSP Emulator is designed to operate with TI Code Composer Studio IDE debug tool and is compatible with Windows 98SE /2000/XP/2003 Server.

vs. other XDS510 TI DSP Emulators - GAO TDS560 USB TI DSP Emulator

The following is a comparison chart on the time spent downloading 64KB/4MB program by using different Emulators. The target board is TI DM642EVM, TI 6211DSK and 2407EVM. The test computer is based on Intel Pentium 2.5G. OS is Win XP.

	DM642EVM, 4MB Prog	6211DSK, 4MB Prog	2407EVM, 65KB Prog	2407EVM, 65KB FLASH
TDS560 USB	10 second	9 second	2 second	13 second
TDS560 PCI	9 second	8 second	2 second	13 second
standard XDS510 USB	533 second	525 second	67 second	52 second

GAO TDS560 USB TI DSP Emulator's high downloading speed reaches 90% that of the TDS560 PCI DSP Emulator and is more than 50 times faster than standard USB 510 emulator. The exact result may vary with each computer. Nevertheless, the larger the download size is, the more notable the speed comparison would be.
