Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C6657

Hi,

I'm interested in buying the TMDSEVM6657LS board to evaluate the TMS320C6657 processor, however the board is not available anywehere. Does TI have plans to manufacture more boards in the future?

Benjamin,

May be Yes.

But, it depends on the quantity of demand..... as it should meet the manufacturing costs etc..

===

May be, click on the option, "Notify when available".

When the boards are available, you will be notified.

Benjamin,

How many units you are looking forward to buy?

Either the processor device- C6657 or interested in buying only EVMS?

Let us know, the quantity you are planning/ expecting ..

The idea is to integrated the TMS320C6657 in our new product. However, we want to evaluate it first, that's why we would buy 2 EVMs.

Benjamin,

The EVM is out of stock due to parts supply issue that our vendor is facing.

We are working on options to get the supply.

Meanwhile, if it’s a new design, please consider evaluation with other devices such as: https://www.ti.com/product/AM68A , https://www.ti.com/product/AM69A, and https://www.ti.com/product/AM5728

We will update the EVM stock page once, we get the next supply.

Please let us know if you need help in choosing these new devices. Thank you.

Am I to understand that TI is shifting away from custom DSP to ARM processors? I will consider these devices but our plan A was to use a dedicated DSP alongside an ARM processor.

Benjamin,

No. it is not that way.

Actually, keystone - I devices ( such as C6657/6678 etc---> DSP only cores) and Keystone - II devices ( such as K2E and K2H --> DSP + ARM cores ) are facing the same issue.

It seems, due to the parts scarcity for the manufacturers like Advantech, Mouser and DigiKey, the EVMs are getting delayed.

Infact, many customers are in queue for keystone-II devices too......

In addition to that, Since these parts are in market for morethan 10 years, many customers have their own EVMs built over-the time and they are placing orders only for processor devices and not EVMs.

That's why EVMs got leaned and are in greater demand.
