1. What You’ll Need
The following checklists detail items that are shipped with the ’C3x C source
debugger and EVM and additional items you’ll need to use these tools.
Hardware checklist
host An IBM PC/AT or 100% compatible ISA/EISA-based PC with a
hard-disk system and a 1.2-Mbyte floppy-disk drive
memory Minimum of 640K bytes; in addition, if you are running under
MS-Windows, you’ll need at least 256K bytes of extended memory.
display Monochrome or color (color recommended)
slot One 8- or 16-bit slot
EVM board
power requirements
Approximately 1 ampere @ 5 volts (5 watts)
optional hardware A Microsoft-compatible mouse
An EGA- or VGA-compatible graphics display card and a large mon-
itor. The debugger has several options that allow you to change the
overall size of the debugger display. If you have an EGA- or
VGA-compatible graphics card, you can take advantage of some of
these larger screen sizes. These larger screen sizes are most effec-
tive when used with a large (17” or 19”) monitor. (To use a larger
screen size, you must invoke the debugger with an appropriate op-
tion. For more information about options, refer to the invocation sec-
tion in Chapter 1, Overview of a Code Development and Debugging
System, in the TMS320C3x C Source Debugger User’s Guide.)
