Blue Wave Systems Announces Plug-ins Based on Texas Instruments' New Open Platform.CARROLLTON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 2, 1999-- Blue Wave Systems Heralds New Code Composer Studio from Texas Instruments See TI. (company) Texas Instruments - (TI) A US electronics company. A TI engineer, Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit in 1958. Three TI employees left the company in 1982 to start Compaq. as Significant Step Forward for DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive Software Tools Blue Wave Systems (Nasdaq/NMS:BWSI), the world's leading DSP solutions supplier, announces plug-in modules for Texas Instruments' new Code Composer Studio(TM) that will provide its customers with a much improved software development environment, make DSP applications easier to develop and speed up time to market. Endorsing Code Composer Studio, Charlie Edgington, Blue Wave Systems Director of Marketing, comments, "We have been working very closely with Texas Instruments on its new open approach to DSP development tools for some time. We are delighted that we are able to use Code Composer Studio to provide our customers with a significantly improved development environment for our DSP boards and systems." The three plug-in modules announced today include a Code Composer Studio intelligent set up for Blue Wave's range of Compact PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). and PCI C6000 boards, a processor diagnostics module and a NVRAM (Non-Volatile RAM) May refer to dynamic RAM (DRAM) and static RAM (SRAM) chips that are backed up by a battery or to non-volatile chips such as flash memory. See non-volatile memory, dynamic RAM, static RAM and solid state disk. programmer module which further enhances the development environment of Blue Wave's PCI/C6600 and PCI/C6202-EVM boards. The increase in DSP hardware performance and software complexity is accompanied by a rapid shift in DSP system costs from hardware to software. This is largely due to the strong need for DSP expertise and custom built applications, as well as a lack of software standards and integrated tools. Code Composer Studio provides full support throughout the development process by combining program build, real-time analysis, program debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. , resource configuration, and a simulator and target server in one easy-to-use environment. Code Composer Studio provides a plug-in architecture on both the host and target systems. The specialized plug-in modules that Blue Wave has developed extends systems, resources and development capabilities. Blue Wave Systems (Nasdaq/NMS:BWSI) is the world's leading supplier of board-level DSP solutions and provides digital signal processing See DSP. Digital Signal Processing - (DSP) Computer manipulation of analog signals (commonly sound or image) which have been converted to digital form (sampled). (DSP) boards and subsystems to more than one-half of the world's top 40 industrial companies. Blue Wave Systems is principally involved in the development and sale of embedded Inserted into.
