Free tool provides drag-and-drop functionality to allow developers at any skill level to build DSP-based systems quickly and easily

DALLAS, July 27 /PRNewswire/ – Allowing digital signal processing developers to effortlessly leverage the computational power of TI’s digital signal processors (DSPs), Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) introduces the C6EZFlo graphical software development tool. The C6EZFlo tool simplifies and accelerates the development process by enabling developers to generate prototype software on TI DSPs without learning new programming languages or specific DSP architecture. To learn more and download C6EZFlo software, visit http://www.ti.com/c6flo-prtf.

The C6EZFlo’s unique graphical interface enables developers to utilize drag-and-drop functionality to create a signal flow block diagram. The blocks in the diagram represent anything from a peripheral input/output data transaction to a specialized DSP filter kernel. The tool generates heavily commented and cleanly structured C code based on the block diagram, which the developer can use in its raw form or modify to adjust the design.

Developers can leverage C6EZFlo with TI’s C6000™ DSP devices, such as C674x DSPs, as well as DSP-based DaVinci™ video processors, including DM643x and DM648, which enables quick and easy prototyping for various end applications, including industrial imaging, industrial monitoring, test and measurement, music effects and medical imaging applications.

Software projects are inherently complex, and creating a software build process can be fraught with errors and oversights. FinalBuilder is a powerful Automated Build & Release Management tool that simplifies software build automation.

By packaging an extensive library of pre-written scripts into a graphical IDE, FinalBuilder equips you to easily define and maintain a reliable build process. You don’t have to concoct batch files, script or XML to free yourself of manual builds. Focus on developing great software and use FinalBuilder to automate your build process.

FinalBuilder’s built-in library offers more than 600 pre-written scripts, called actions, which can:* Check in/out & label files with your Version Control System;
* Compile applications from source code;
* Compile setup/installer programs and help files;
* Send build notifications via email, news servers, ICQ and MSN;
* Run automated tests with your existing testing tools;
* Schedule daily or nightly builds;
* FTP files to/from servers;
* Burn CD’s & DVD’s or create an ISO image;
* Handle errors, run multiple tasks in parallel, and dynamically change the build flow;
* and much more.For a complete list of actions in FinalBuilder, see the FinalBuilder Feature Matrix

Macker is a build-time architectural rule checking utility for Java developers.

View the rules file

It’s meant to model the architectural ideals programmers always dream up for their projects, and then break — it helps keep code clean and consistent. Users can tailor a rules file to suit a specific project’s structure, or write some general “good practice” rules for your code. Macker is flexible, and writing a rules file is part of the development process for each unique project.
