I might throw in here that I'm a TI Authorized Third Party and have the Code Composer Studio software and a Spectrum Digital ICE. Personally, I'm more into DSP hardware rather than software, but have written some DSP code. For anyone used to nice, embedded processor development environments, I'll warn you that DSPs were designed by non-computer science people and the development software has a long way to go, but TI makes the best development software that I've seen. ---------- Jerry Durand Durand Interstellar, Inc. 219 Oak Wood Way Los Gatos, California 95032-2523 USA tel: +1 408 356-3886 fax: +1 408 356-4659 web: www.interstellar.com _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list
