The DSK includes a reduced-capability license of Code Composer Studio, so larger applications cannot be built unless the product version of CCS is purchased separately. For information on the xDDS2, including ordering information, please click here . Note that CCS version 1.2 obtained from TI's catalog sales may have a limit as to the number of symbols which can be loaded. To download executable code from the development PC to the DSP, or to debug the code, or collect runtime statistics, one needs a connection between the development PC and the DSK or xDDS2. If using a DSK, one can use a standard IEEE-1284 parallel cable.
Download speeds are limited, however.
When connecting a development PC to an xDDS2, one needs an XDS-510. One XDS-510 is provided with each xDDS2. Due to the size of typical print controller executables and the resulting lengthy download times, use of an XDS-510 is recommended for connecting a development PC to the DSK, although this is optional.
