TMS320C6457 – EVM
TMS320C6457-EVM Custom Hardware Design Solutions
The TMS320C64x+™ DSPs are the highest-performance fixed-point DSP generation in the TMS320C6000™ DSP platform. The C6457 device is based on the third-generation high-performance, advanced VelociTI™ VLIW architecture developed by Texas Instruments (TI). The C64x+ devices are upward code-compatible from previous devices that are part of the C6000™ DSP platform. Developed by eInfochips, the C6457 Lite EVM (with AMC like form factor) enables developers to immediately start evaluating TMS320C6457 processor and begin building application around it ,especially those demanding high-performance computations like video & telecom infrastructures, medical and imaging.
TMDSEVM6457L
The TMDSEVM6457L comes with onboard XDS100 emulation capability. An external emulator via TI 60-Pin JTAG emulation header can also be used.
TMDSEVM6457LE
The TMDSEVM6457LE comes with integrated XDS560v2 emulation capability. This emulator is mounted on the TI 60-pin JTAG header in the form of a Mezzanine card.
