NUMERIC INTENSIVE DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT

This invention describes a numeric intensive development environment for producing code for various fixed point DSP's and providing a debug capability that assists the user by displaying various data from the DSP in various formats. The DSP code is created in a DSP-C language which is based on low level assembly language tools enhanced with extensive native mathematical representation formats and high level language syntax. This provides the advantage of handling numeric representation in high level language and optimizing the code for speed and compactness in low level language. Once the code is created in DSP-C it can be connected to a DSP through a driver and driver interface. The driver interface allows the code to be universal with a different driver being used to connect the code to different DSP's. In debug mode data from a target DSP is continuously fetched allowing the user to make real time modifications to the code and get real time feed back of the results.
