TMS320C6748: Does Emulator necessary to develop DSP applications using TMS320C6748? or Can we develop DSP applications using TMS320C6748 without an emulator?

Part Number: TMS320C6748
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Hi, I just started exploring to develop DSP applications. It is mentioned in the product descritpion that "The LCDK does not have an onboard emulator. An external emulator from TI or a third-party will be required to start development." Can't we develop without an external emulator by using only CCStudio? Please guide in this regard. Thank you.

  • Hello!
    Code Composer comes with cross-compiler, so yes, you can develop and build DSP application without any companion hardware, neither emulator, nor development kit. Older releases of CCS had simulation feature, so one could even debug a little without real hardware. However, most of us test our programs loading them on the processor with emulator and examining the application using emulator. Also it is pretty common that at prototyping stage, or before custom hardware gets available, we start development with some kind of evaluation board or development kit. And just because you are asking such a questions, I believe you'd better have both evaluation board/kit and emulator.
