TDM) datapaths of the chip. Designers can
create their own examples using the included
software environment in order to test the modes
of operation needed for their design and under-
stand all configuration parameters.
The development kit software envi-
ronment is designed to run the
OCT8304 API in user space
allowing standard C tools to
interact with the API directly.
This enables designers to utilize
familiar debug and runtime
tools with the card simplifying
the design process.
Included in the package is the
OCT8304 Probe Tool. This tool allows
the user/developer to track and search for
connections using the IP address and to look
at all pointers and fields in the chip while traffic is
running through the device. The tool also features
extensive help on all fields. This tool is ideal to
understand any problems found on the embed-
ded system and the behavior that leads to it.

Simplifying your design process and reducing your time to market with complete, easy to use tools.
One of the biggest hurdles a designer faces
when starting a new project is the learning
curve of new components and a development
environment. The OCT8304 development kit
has been designed with the purpose of remov-
ing these hurdles for the OCT8304 component
and to accelerate the overall design and debug-
ging process.
The OCT8304 development kit can be
used to test all functions of the
OCT8304 in a live network envi-
ronment. It is equipped with sev-
eral standard network ports and
a TDM voice interface so that a
voice gateway can be built
with off-the-shelf products
integrated with the develop-
ment kit. The designers can
learn the technology and under-
stand the system challenges before
the final hardware is available.
The kit includes numerous coding examples to
get designers started quickly. The recommended
starting examples are done using handsets con-
nected to the built-in CODECs. The voice is pack-
etized by the OCT8304 and looped back through
a network interface using external cables. All the
examples utilize the full assembly (TDM to packet
network) and disassembly (packet network to
Octasic proprietary and confidential.
