The following list describes the tools shown in Figure 3–2.
The assembler translates DSK assembly language source files into machine
language object files for the TMS320C3x family of processors. Only the most
essential assembler features are incorporated. This is
not a COFF assembler,
although executable object files created by the TI TMS320 floating-point DSP
assembly language tools will also load and run on the DSK.
The main purpose of the development process is to produce a module that can
be executed in a DSK target system. You can use the debugger to refine and
correct your code.
