		    +------------------------------+


   This file contains release notes for Version 1.1 of the TMS320C30
   Emulator.  Please read this documentation carefully before you install
   the package.

   The TMS320C30 Emulator software is shipped on two floppy diskettes.
   The following is a list of the files contained on each floppy
   diskette:

   DISK I:

     FILE NAME				  DESCRIPTION
   ==============     ===================================================

    README	   -   This file.
    INIT.CFM	   -   A command file which defines the default memory
		       configuration of the TMS320C30 Application
		       Board.  If other target system is to be used,
		       this file needs to be modified to suit its
		       memory configuration.  This file is used to
		       set up the target memory configuration at ini-
		       tialization and "CMR" (Configure Memory Reset)
		       command.
    COLORS.DBR	   -   A data file to be used for the screen display
		       and it can be changed through the "CC" (Configure
		       Color) command.
    C30RESET.EXE   -   The execution file which is used to reset TMS320C30.
    DBSETUP.EXE    -   An execution file which is used to configure the
		       screen display.
    EMU30.EXE	   -   The TMS320C30 Emulator execution file.
    XRESET.EXE	   -   The execution file which is used to reset the
		       TMS320C30 Emulator.
    INIT.IOB	   -   A file that defines the I/O memory block in which
		       the TMS320C30 Emulator will operate.
    RESVCT.001	   -   TMS320C30 revision 1.0 silicon reset vector file
		       used by the TMS320C30 Emulator.
    RESVCT.002	   -   TMS320C30 revision 2.0 silicon reset vector file
		       used by the TMS320C30 Emulator.

   DISK II:

     FILE NAME				  DESCRIPTION
   ==============     ===================================================

    README	   -   This file.
    C30EXAM.ASM    -   TMS320C30 sample assembly program.
    C30EXAM.CMD    -   Link command file for C30EXAM.ASM.
    WALKTHRU.CMD   -   A demo journal file. Type "EMU30 WALKTHRU.CMD"
		       to start the demo session.
    UTIL30.EXE	   -   An utility program which converts a memory dump
		       file saved by the emulator "SM" (Save Memory)
		       command to a journal file (batch command file).
		       You can edit this file and then execute it to
		       re-load the memory.
    EMU30.HLP	   -   The TMS320C30 Emulator on-line help file.
    C30EXAM.OUT    -   COFF object file for C30EXAM.ASM.



   INSTALLATION NOTES
   ==================

   o Install the hardware and software by following the instructions
     in TMS320C30 Emulator User's Guide, and TMS320C30 Application
     Board User's Guide if it is a TMS320C30 XDS1000 system.

   o Make sure the AUTOEXEC.BAT file specifies the correct path and
     definition for "IPCDIR".

     NOTE: The following files can reside in the directory specified by
	   "IPCDIR", and if they cannot be found in the current
	   directory, the directory defined by "IPCDIR" will be searched:

	   o INIT.CFM
	   o INIT.IOB
	   o COLORS.DBR
	   o EMU30.HLP
	   o RESVCT.001
	   o RESVCT.002

   o Be sure to run AUTOEXEC.BAT, if you modified it.

   o If you have any problem bringing up the emulator, please go over
     Appendix G of the TMS320C30 Emulator User's Guide and the descriptions
     of error messages in this file to determine the action to take for
     resolving the problem.

   o Always remember that the first command you need to run after the
     emulator screen comes up will be either "eXecute Reset" or "eXecute
     cOnnect" (if the target was previously disconnected) command to start
     or resume an emulation session.

   o If a batch command file is to be used, make sure the commands to set
     up the memory configuration and reset or connect (if the target was
     previously disconnected) the target come first in the file.



   ERROR MESSAGES
   ==============

   o Emulator cannot complete the command.

     Possible causes:
      - Lost device clock.
      - Emulator hardware problem.

   o Not able to establish communication with target.

     Possible causes:
      - Lost device clock.
      - Emulator hardware problem.
      - I/O switch setting wrong, cannot communicate with XDS.

   o Cannot find reset vector file.

     Possible causes:
      - No file.
      - Incorrect path.
      - Incorrect environment setting.

   o Not able to detect target power

     Possible causes:
      - Target cable not connected to system.
      - Target cable not connected to emulator.
      - Target power is off.

   o Silicon revision cannot be read or is not supported.

     Possible causes:
      - Wrong silicon is used.
      - Cannot communicate with the silicon.



   DIFFERENCES FROM RELEASE 1.0
   ============================

   o Made changes for supporting TMS320C30 revision 2.0 silicon.

   o Added trace function to allow collecting trace-sample expressions
     at any stop point (breakpoint, halted by ESC key, or end of the run
     specified).

   o Added execute benchmark option for allowing the user to time software
     execution.

   o Added the execute loop option for looping on a given block of code.

   o The file RESET2.VCT was renamed to RESVCT.001.

   o Added the file RESVCT.002 to support TMS320C30 revision 2.0 silicon.
