Software Development Kits (SDK) - TI SDKs provide key software components and documentation for the platform of your choice. SDKs can be downloaded on TI.com for free, and also come with TI evaluation modules (EVM) and development kits. SDKs require no runtime royalties. They include BSPs, tools, demos, documentation and more.

Development Tools – For DSP software development, TI offers the Eclipse-based Code Composer Studio™ IDE v5 (CCStudio). For DSP developers, the TI compiler generates optimized code for advanced performance on the DSP in C or C++, allowing developers a higher level of abstraction without compromising system optimization. CCStudio simulators also offer profiling, cache-tuning and real-time debugging on the DSP. JTAG emulators with a variety of PC interfaces, speeds, and prices are available from TI and through TI's Design Network.
