Programming examples to test the tools
Chapter 1 introduces several tools available for digital signal processing (DSP).
These tools include the popular Code Composer Studio (CCS), which provides an
integrated development environment (IDE), and the DSP starter kit (DSK) with
the TMS320C6713 floating-point processor onboard and complete support for input
and output. Three examples illustrate both the software and hardware tools included
with the DSK. It is strongly suggested that you review these three examples before
proceeding to subsequent chapters.
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Digital signal processors such as the TMS320C6x (C6x) family of processors are like
fast special-purpose microprocessors with a specialized type of architecture and an
instruction set appropriate for signal processing. The C6x notation is used to desig-
nate a member of Texas Instruments' (TI) TMS320C6000 family of digital signal
processors. The architecture of the C6x digital signal processor is very well suited
for numerically intensive calculations. Based on a very-long-instruction-word
(VLIW) architecture, the C6x is considered to be TI's most powerful processor.
Digital signal processors are used for a wide range of applications, from com-
munications and controls to speech and image processing. The general-purpose
