Facilitating easier development with high-performance multicore processors, Texas Instruments announced the availability of two new evaluation modules (EVMs) for its KeyStone-based TMS320C665x multicore digital signal processors (DSPs).
The TMDSEVM6657L and TMDSEVM6657LE EVMs allow developers to quickly get started designing with TI’s newest processors, the TMS320C6654, TMS320C6655 and TMS320C6657.
Combining fixed- and floating-point capabilities, the multicore processors deliver real-time performance at low power, coupled with small form factors so that developers can more effectively meet the requirements of markets such as mission critical, industrial automation, testers, embedded vision, imaging, video surveillance, medical, and audio and video infrastructure.
The C6657 features two 1,25 GHz DSP cores, delivering up to 80 GMACs and 40 GFLOPs, while the C6655 and C6654 single-core solutions deliver up to 40 GMACs and 20 GLOPS and 27,2 GMACs and 13,6 GLOPS, respectively.
Under normal operating conditions, the C6657, C6655 and C6654 power numbers are at 3,5 W, 2,5 W and 2 W, respectively. The C665x DSPs also feature large on-chip memory coupled with a high-bandwidth and efficient external memory controller, making them an ideal choice for a variety of high-performance and portable applications.
Both EVMs include a free Multicore Software Development Kit (MCSDK), TI’s Code Composer Studio integrated development environment and a suite of application/demo codes to allow programmers to quickly come up to speed on the new platform.
In addition, the TMDSEVM6657L includes an embedded XDS100 emulator, while the TMDSEVM6657LE includes a faster emulator, the XDS560V2, for quicker program load and ease of use.
