Hardware development tools for TMS320C40?

I am searching for hardware (& associated software) development
tools suitable for building small 'C40 based processing nodes.
(I do know about the numerous TRAM type products out there but
unfortunately I need to build my own node.)

So far the only thing I have found seems to be the TI XDS510.
This looks wonderful (and reasonably priced) but I was wondering
if anyone knows of any third party setups.  Especially ones that
DO NOT use a PC!

I would also be interested in hearing from folx with XDS510
experience.  Anything good or bad to say about it?

Thanks,
Craig

There's a company in Boston called Sonitech, Int'l, 617-235-6824, who will 
be marketing an emulator & debugging package for the Sun SparcStation (sBus). 
Full X-Windows support, as well as C30 AND C40 support. This should be out by 
mid-October. It's a good, reputable company. You should give them a call.
I don't know the final pricing structure, but look to pay about $6K.

We have been using Swift, an X-windows based source level debugger from
Pentek.  They make VME and multibusII DSP and I/O cards with single/multiple
C25s, C30s and C40s.  I think the list on Swift was $2k.  We have been happy
with their C30 VMEbus cards, and the company is very responsive to user
requests/problems.  Our contact is Mario at (201)767-7100.  They have a good
selection of I/O and processor cards and daughter modules.  Drop a line if
you're interested.

Just a satisfied customer.
