[edit] New pages added for series

I've started pages for the TMS320C5000 , TMS320C6000, TMS320C6200, TMS320C6700 and TMS320C6400. They need a lot more information to be added.

May need to revise the rest of this page, especially the bit "outside of the main series". Is it also worth listing all the available chips in each family ?

Also need to add typical application for each family. alxx 13:39, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

It would be nice having some pictures here. If no one else has any, I've got a evaluation board (TMS320C5x DSK) that I could probably get some half-decent pictures of. C50 is old, but what the heck.

[edit] needs more, don't you think? :-)

I was surprised there was no link to the page about the Harvard Architecture. It's possible that the more recent literature produced by TI no longer mentions this as an architectural feature, but it was definitely how the original TMS32010 was described. There isn't nearly enough about what distinguishes the TMS320 family from other CPU designs: the fact that there are C compilers for this chip family is hardly significant. 129.55.27.4 18:16, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

It does seem like an important distinction, but the lines are more blurred today with CPUs that wouldn't generally be considered DSPs including Harvard architectures. Harvard_architecture doesn't even mention the TMS320 devices, whereas Modified_Harvard_architecture does. JadonK (talk) 17:19, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] DA25x

I didn't realize there was info on the DA25x here. Unfortunately, the architecture information is incorrect. If there is real interest in the correct information, I can consider providing. I'm not trying to be elusive, I just didn't think there was much demand for this information. JadonK (talk) 17:16, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Apollo Computer videocard

Seems, the sentece about Apollo Computer is incorrect. AFAIK, their videocard was based on the TMS34010 GPU, not TMS320 DSP Alecv (talk) 18:13, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
