Getting Started With Digital Signal Processors & ARM Microprocessors

Picking the Right Architecture

Picking the right architecture depends upon your system & design needs. Is DSP for you? Or do you need an ARM device? What are the tradeoffs? What are the advantages?

This section provides overviews of the Sitara™ ARM® microprocessors, OMAP™ mobile applications processors, DaVinci™ video processors, TMS320C5000™ DSPs and the fixed & floating-point TMS320C6000™ DSPs Platforms and provides access to the cross-platform DSP & ARM MPU Parametric Search to help identify your optimal device.

     

Step-by-Step Design

Key design considerations for the various architectures and technologies include: programmability; throughput; on-chip memory; power; integration; real-time responsiveness; and performance.

This section provides quick access to the specific Getting Started pages within each product section as well as some simple, high level step-by-step instructions and links to various tools & software, system block diagrams and design support available for your particular designing needs.
