TCP/IP Protocol Stack for TMS320 DSP Processors Is First To Market
eXpressDSP compliant stack reduces time, cost and risk in developing Internet-enabled DSP applications

ITHACA, NY, February 20, 2003: Traquair Data Systems, Inc. today introduced the bf3Net TCP/IP Protocol Stack for TMS320 DSP Processors. Leveraging Texas Instrument's eXpressDSP™ real-time software technology, and fully compliant with the TMS320™ DSP Algorithm Standard, bf3Net software reduces the time, cost and risk involved in developing reliable Internet-enabled DSP applications.

bf3Net is developed and produced by Windmill Innovations BV in Nijkerk, The Netherlands (www.windmill-innovations.com) and is the first-to-market eXpressDSP Compliant TCP/IP Protocol Stack supporting TMS320 DSP processors. bf3Net facilitates DSP development with tight Code Composer Studio IDE integration and full RFC compliant support for TMS320C2800, TMS320C5000, and TMS320C6000 devices.

A flexible and powerful design platform, bf3Net supports all standard protocols necessary for complete development of Internet-enabled DSP applications including HTTP, SMTP, POP3, FTP, DNS and DHCP.

To facilitate development, bf3Net Starter Kits are also available. Providing a low-priced, entry-level evaluation and prototyping platform for Internet-enabled DSP applications, the kits contain everything necessary to quickly start a bf3Net based project including the bf3Net TCP/IP Protocol Stack, a 100BaseTx Ethernet Daughter Card and a Texas Instruments DSP Starter Kit (DSK).

"The addition of Windmill Innovations communications products offer exceptional capabilities for developers seeking advanced connectivity solutions for their DSP based systems", said Stephen J. Bradshaw, President & Technical Director of Traquair.
