Re: How Good is Processor Expert for DSP56800?

I've found it very good. I evaluated a few processors and ended up choosing

Freescale due to Code Warrior/ PE.
I found setting up complicated peripherals like the ESSI were made easy
due 
to PE.
I have found a few bugs in the beans, but they were fixed by Unis fairly 
quickly. Where I found problems was where a blob of code (e.g. V2x modems)

from the old SDK had been "Beanised" and when I came up with a problem or
an 
error I struggled to find someone to talk to who knew the code.

On the whole I like the chip and the development environment and will 
probably choose it again for another project.
