TMS320C4X

The TMS320C4x has several key features:
` Up to 40 MIPS/80 MFLOPS performance with 488-Mbytes/s I/O capability
  - IEEE floating-point conversion for ease of use
  - Register-based CPU
  - Single-cycle byte and half-word manipulation capabilities
  - Divide and square root support for improved performance
` On-chip memory includes 2K words of SRAM, 128 words of program cache, and bootloader
` Two external buses providing an address reach of up to 4 gigawords
` Two memory-mapped 32-bit timers
` 6 and 12 channel DMA
` Up to six communication ports for multiprocessor communication
` Idle mode for reduced power consumption

The bootloader code starts at location 0x11bc in the on-chip ROM in both the 'C40 and 'C44. For 'C44 device revisions 3 1.0, the 'C44 TMS320C4X bootloader code is identical to the 'C40 bootloader code. For 'C44 device revisions > 1.0, the 'C44 bootloader code differs in three memory locations from the 'C40 bootloader.

These three locations are noted in the code. The bootloader program is listed in Section 10.7, The Bootloader Program.
