TMS320C6474 – EVM
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.
TMDSEVM6474LE
The TMDSEVM6474LE comes with integrated XDS560v2 emulation capability. This emulator is mounted on the TI 60-pin JTAG header in the form of a Mezzanine card.
