CPU/DSP DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGIES
	Advantages	Disadvantages
Conventional Tools	Developers familiar with CPU or DSP tools and programming methodologies Some tools and OSs targeted at CPU and DSP environments with interprocessor communication	Developers normally need to learn about the toolset for the other platform Tools not integrated, requiringseparate project and debugging support Platform migration difficult
Integrated Tools	Takes advantage of platform features, such as interprocessor communications Tighter debugging integration	Limited to specific target platforms Developers may have to learn about new tools Platform migration difficult
Modeling Tools	Problem and solution abstraction Platform portability Behavior and algorithms can be moved easily between CPU and DSP Handles complex target environments	Requires learning new methodology for those unfamiliar with tools Additional development-software costs Still requires integrated or conventional development tools
