Multicore Tools and Software
TI multicore devices simplify the process of implementing multicore application-specific solutions by offering the tools, software and supporting application expertise that customers need to win in their markets.
We’ve compiled a list of links below to help developers explore the numerous resources TI and third parties offer for multicore tools, software, compilers and development boards, as well as information about our participation in open source initiatives.
