Application Development System
The Motorola Universal Command Converter is one component of a four-component
development tool for designing real-time signal processing systems. When combined with
a host card, a target board, and Motorola software and documentation, the universal
command converter becomes part of an advanced development tool called an application
development system (ADS). The ADS consolidates complex hardware and software
development tools within a low-cost workstation environment using a well-supported
operating system. By providing a solid foundation for application development and
testing, the ADS significantly reduces development costs and time to market. The versatile
ADS allows rapid initial development and supports comprehensive testing of prototype
designs. The ADS consists of the following four components:
Host-Bus Interface Board
—a 16-bit ISA bus (for PC-workstations and HP700
workstations) and SBus (for Sun and SPARC workstations).
Command Converter (CC)
— a universal design that supports all Motorola DSPs.
Control, Development, and Debugging Software
—available in Windows
compatible (Windows 95/NT 4.0), Sun OS compatible (Rel. 4.1.1 or later), Solaris
compatible (Rel. 2.5 or later), and HPUX compatible (Ver. 9.0 or 10.20).
Application Development Module (ADM)
— supports development and testing
using a specific digital signal processor (DSP) chip. To identify currently available
ADMs, consult your local Motorola distributor, a Motorola semiconductor sales
office, or, for the latest information, Motorola’s DSP tools home page on the
Internet (http://www.mot.com/SPS/WIRELESS/dsptools).
For more information about ADS software, you can obtain a copy of the

Motorola DSPs have a common On-Chip Emulation (OnCE) module that gives
different development tools identical features. Using the concept of a common serial
debug port, one set of tools has been designed to allow a user to communicate with any of
the architectures using a single command converter. In some Motorola DSPs, this module
