I've just got a couple of samples of the new ADSP-21262 SHARC DSP (1200
MFLOPS!) in the LQFP package. It is a masked-ROM device, and I wondered
if there was likely to be anything useful in the ROM.

I've started designing a simple PCB so that I can play with them, it'll
consist basically of  the '21626 and a suitable codec.

The 21262 has the potential for ROM (if you pay for a mask charge and buy a 
gazillion). The 21266 is the same part with code in the ROM. These are 
audio algorithms from Dolby, DTS, etc that must be licensed accordingly.

We sell many 21262 boards that you may want to look out before you do your 
own. It will be much cheaper.

You might want to take a look at the 21369 as well. This is the latest 
third generation SHARC. We think it will be the dominant DSP in our lineup 
by next year and the most popular for development this year.

Thanks, Al. I'd rather design my own as I have rather specific
requirements for the final sytem - with a Cyclone II FPGA and
high-speed USB interface, as small and cheap as possible, for amateur
radio applications.

Having participated in the amateur radio market, I can appreciate the 
cost side. As a hobby, ham radio is fine. I think it is a difficult 
business to make money in. I co-founded Timewave, which still is active 
in this market.

We currently have a board with high speed USB & an ADSP-21369. We are 
planning a dspblok 21369 with 64Mbit SDRAM & a Cyclone 2 for later this 
year. The dspblok is 60mm x 60mm. This is fairly small when you look at 
the size of the components.

Radio amateurs, on the whole, are a tight-fisted lot. 8-)

Al,

I've just noticed what appear to be typos on the data sheet - some of
the pin names seem wrong. For instance, pin 80 is DAI_P13 (SCLK23).
According to the Peripherals Manual there should be an SCLK for each
SPORT. Or, is SCLK23 shared by SPORTs 2 and 3?

The 21262 has 6 half duplex SPORTs. Each SPORT has a FS, SCLK, and two 
data lines going in the same direction. The DAI has twenty pins that can 
be assigned to any of the SPORT pins. The internal SPORT pins can be tied 
together. 

For example, we often tie multiple SCLKs and FSs together for 
multichannel systems. This uses two arbitrary DAI pins. 

The same thing is true of the 21369 except their are 8 SPORTs. 

The datasheet shows some alternate assignments that I think are 
confusing. We ignore them and set up the DAI explicitly for our desired 
I/O.

The DAI is a great feature of the 21262. It really simplifies routing. 
The idea has been expanded on the 21369 to include a similar interface 
call DPI. This interface handles SPI, UARTs, I2C, etc.

Make that "Amateurs, on the whole, are a tight-fisted lot." I won't 
grind another telescope mirror now that I can but one for less than the 
cost of the blanks and abrasives. I did machine the cell for my 
6-diopter achromatic close-up attachment. (It allows me to use my new 
digital SLR to digitize 35 mm slides by merely photographing them 
effectively 1:1. I cut the metric thread with a gear* I made myself.)

Gaaah! I started with a 36-tooth gear, not 26.

For the curious, I cut out the hub, leaving an toothed ring with an 
appropriate inner diameter. A 24-pitch gear has 24 teeth for every inch 
of (pitch) diameter, and I made another hub 1/12" smaller than the 
ring's inner diameter. After sawing two teeth out of the annulus, I 
pulled it around the new hub with a hose clamp and brazed it in place. 
(A small gap ensured that the new hub determined the new size. To remove 
any possible errors, I ran the gear under pressure against a steel 
50-tooth gear with fine valve-grinding compound as "lubricant", then 
shifted it one tooth and lapped it some more. All that to save $300 
(plus tax) for a special order from the gear shop. I said I'm cheap.
