The compiler is OK, the debugger is far better than nothing*, but I've never used a captive IDE that I really liked. * But then, any debugger is far better than nothing. -- Tim Wescott Control system and signal processing consulting www.wescottdesign.com

The TMS470 family doesn't have DSPs, so even if a DSP BIOS exists it isn't likely to do you much good. >I suspect those tools are kinda unloved by TI, and I am the only one who > had ever tried them, and the earlier I switch to something different, >the better. IAR EWARM in particular is well supported by TI, much more so than the others I have tried. IAR offers a KickStart version; it has a 32K code limitation, but the price is right.

I used the IAR/Kickstart for a couple of MSP430 projects and found it to be a very good toolset/IDE. -- Randy Yates % "Maybe one day I'll feel her cold embrace, Digital Signal Labs % and kiss her interface, mailto://yates(a)ieee.org % til then, I'll leave her alone." http://www.digitalsignallabs.com % 'Yours Truly, 2095', *Time*, ELO |
