Hi guys,
I've got a bunch of TMS32020 and two TMS320C25 Chips and I want to play
with them a little :-)
Is the old DOS (orf VMS?) Software still available from somewhere?
(Yes, I have an VS4000-90 under the desk..long time ago since I've last
booted it, but ...simh also exists).
My 2000-vintage pick and place machine has a number of these 320XX series
DSPs in it to process camera images. I seem to recall they are a Harvard
architecture. I never did any programming on them.

...a modified Havard Architecture...you can write Program memory and can
execute it, there is only one Data Bus.
Thefirst TMS320's are very limited with the really small hardware stack
that has only a few levels. No deep subroutine calls, no interrupt
cascading, no recursion. There is some Software routine published that
moves the HW Stack contents to the external RAM ..maybe a link register
would be better?
Don't know about later TMS's, for soure that got fixed fast..
I've found that a C Compiler for the TMS320C25 was available, the
TMS32020 isn't mentioned in that regard.
Regards,
Holm
