    Hello,

    TMS470 is the old name that represented the TI ARM family based devices. Hence TMS470 Compiler and Linker stand for TI's ARM Compiler and Linker

    The name is confusing since we also have devices using the name 'TMS570' which are also ARM based devices but you use the 'TMS470' compiler and linker. Hence there are plans to change the name of the compiler/linker to just say 'ARM'.

    It depends on your board. Many AM335x start kits come with emulation built in. All you need to do is connect the board to PC via USB cable. Check the specs of the board you wish to use.

    Thanks
