Edwin Designed to be compliant with Texas Instruments' Code Composer Studio and Analog Devices1 VisualDSP, the software will also work seamlessly with Spectrum's DSP hardware in parallel processing environments. This system-level software will make Spectrum's DSP systems even easier to use, and significantly shorten product development time. Edwin it would be good if you are really interested in investing in the company to try and understand the facts rather than shooting from the hipspectrumsignal.com spectrumsignal.com With the new APEX-Pro professional SHARC development tools, Spectrum can now offer the most advanced native software development environment in the business. Highlights include a sophisticated inter-processor communication infrastructure, fully integrated and extendible host interface software, plus a variety of high-level visual tools for system configuration and diagnostics. APEX-Pro is complemented by a powerful, multiprocessor debugger known as APEX-Debug. Features include a completely interactive (Win32) GUI front-end, true multiprocessor support across any number of boards, and complete integration with APEX-Pro's system-level data-routing structures. APEX-Debug is not a JTAG-based debugger and therefore requires no additional hardware. With an aim at helping customers debug and optimize large, complex systems at the application level, APEX-Debug has become one of the most powerful parallel SHARC application development tools available today.The Cutting-Edge DSP RTOS 3L Diamond for SHARC is a high performance real-time operating system that simplifies the development of portable, modular applications while retaining hard real-time performance. Diamond adds two key components to Analog Devices¹ standard C compiler tools: a distributed, real-time microkernel that supports tasks, threads, timers and pre-emptive priority scheduling; and powerful inter-processor message-switching software that provides end-to-end virtual connections over an underlying packet-switched network. Tasks can be moved from processor to processor transparently, the topology altered with no change in source code. Diamond even makes the C compiler itself easier to use,with improved linker technology that eliminates the need for application programmers to manually allocate memory addresses for program sections, and full support for ANSI C functions. With minimum memory requirements and highest possible performance, Diamond accelerates and simplifies your development project resulting in faster time-to-market, a longer life cycle, and lower overall system costs.
