TMS320C6474 – EVM Embedded Hardware Design Services

TMS320C64x+ DSPs are the highest-performance multicore DSP generation in the TMS320C6000™ DSP platform. TMS320C6474 device is based on the third-generation high-performance, advanced VelociTI™ VLIW architecture developed by Texas Instruments (TI). C64x+™ devices are upward code-compatible with previous devices that are part of the C6000™ DSP platform. Developed by eInfochips, the C6474 Lite Evaluation Module (with AMC like form factor) enables developers to immediately start evaluating TMS320C6474 processor and begin building application products around it especially those demanding high-performance computation like video & telecom infrastructures, medical and imaging.

TMDSEVM6474L

The TMDSEVM6474L comes with onboard XDS100 emulation capability. An external emulator via TI 60-Pin JTAG emulation header can also be used.
