Migrating from TMS320C6712/C6712C to TMS320C6712D (Rev. F)

This document describes issues of interest related to migration from the Texas Instruments TMS320C6712 GFN package and TMS320C6712C GDP package to the TMS320C6712D digital signal processor (DSP) GDP package. The objective of this document is to indicate differences between these devices. Functions that are identical between these devices are not included. For detailed information on the specific functions of any of these devices, refer to the device data sheets. Migration issues from C6712 and C6712C to C6712D are indicated with the following symbols, which are included at the beginning of each section:

[H] Means hardware modification is required.

[S] Means system/software modification is required.

[D] Means the C6712, C6712C, and C6712D are different (usually due to added features on the C6712D), but no modification is necessary for migration (that is, the devices are different but compatible).

With detailed description in this document, migration and development of C6712D systems can be accomplished with ease. For information about migrating from C6212 to C6712D see section 1 for details. A summary of differences between C6712C and C6712D is also presented for C6712C to C6712D system migration; see section 2 for details.
