C7000 Host Emulation v5.0.0.LTS User's Guide

Abstract

C7000™ Host Emulation lets you use C7000 compiler intrinsics and TI vector types on a PC or Linux® host system. This allows you to use different debugging tools and programming environments to prototype programs targeted for C7000 hardware before using the C7000 compiler. The Host Emulation package does not attempt to simulate the C7000 CPU.

1 About This Document

This document serves as a user’s guide for writing C7000 DSP programs using C7000 Host Emulation. Included are examples that outline the key differences between programming with the C7000 compiler (cl7x) and programming using the Host Emulation package on a desired host system. The purpose of this document is to provide a reference of the key features and limitations of the C7000 Host Emulation package.
