Dsp Implementation Using the Tms320C6000 Dsp Platform
This text is a vital accessory for both students and professionals using the latest TI DSP processors. It is ideal for use on advanced DSP or industrial education courses covering the TMS320C6x processor. This text is aimed at DSP users who need to implement systems with the new family of high-performance TI processors. It describes the architecture of the processors as well as detailing the associated tools and providing practical examples. Using pragmatic experiments based on common DSP operations, this book enables the reader to make real-time applications work in a relatively short period of time.
Why Read This Book
You will get hands-on guidance for mapping DSP algorithms to the TMS320C6000 VLIW architecture and making them run in real time. The book walks you from architecture and tools to concrete examples and optimized C/assembly code, so you can go from prototype to a working target implementation quickly.
Who Will Benefit
Engineers and advanced students who need to implement and optimize DSP algorithms on TI C6000-class processors for real-time embedded applications.
Level: Intermediate — Prerequisites: Basic DSP fundamentals (filters, FFT, convolution), C programming, and familiarity with digital arithmetic; some assembly and embedded development experience helpful.

Languages, Platforms & Tools
How It Compares
Covers the C6000 family in more depth and with more TI-specific optimization details than Kuo & Lee's Real-Time Digital Signal Processing, and complements TI's own application notes by providing pedagogical examples and case studies.
