Literature # SSQC016

This teaching ROM focuses on work-flow and application-based teaching rather than individual DSP algorithms implementation. The materials complement the content found on other Texas Instruments Teaching ROMs. The idea is that you start from algorithm development and show how easily an idea is prototyped step-by-step, and then deployed on the hardware. The CD-ROM contains a suite of example applications in various fields such as Audio, Video, Imaging, Communications and Control. The basic examples enable students to experiment with real-time DSP applications, showing how to create prototypes using the Mathworks and Texas Instruments development tools (hardware and software). Advanced level examples are also included, where the basic tools are integrated with external dedicated hardware and/or software modules.

Platforms used: TMS320F2808 eZdsp Starter Kit (DSK), TMS320F2812 eZdsp Start Kit (DSK), TMS320C6713 DSP Starter Kit (DSK), TMS320C6416 DSP Starter Kit (DSK), DM6437 Digital Video Development Platform (DVDP).
