GPIO is supported by all C6000 dsps including DM64x

Sorry can't comment on your code as I'm not yet familiar
with C6000 asm.
May have to learn it but may get moved to working on a different dsp before 
that occurs.

You are talking about up conversion you only want to convert to rf ?
Don't need to go both ways ?

Yes there are quite a few products.
www.signalware.com make some daughter boards for the TI dsk boards
with high speed adc and dac on the one board.
Then you just need an addon or another board with upconverter and  power 
amp.

Unfortunately, our lab does not have such a daughter card so I have, for
the time being, to rely on the existing stuff. I would like to feed the
output signals on a RF circuit for a beamforming application. I have the
following questions:

a) Is GPIO supported by the C6711 processor or it is only a feature of the
C6416 one?
b) I have downloaded a TI Reference quide for GPIO, however apart from the
pure technical stuff, no insight was given about how can I configure the
GPIO pins and associate them with pins on the external memory DSK. Is it
possible for somebody to describe step-by step the configuration of the
GPIO and the association with pins on DSK? 
c) If GPIO is not supported by c6711 DSK, what other alternatives exist?
Is it possible to transfer simultaneously data in the external pins of the
J3 DB-peripheral by activating interrupts EINT4...EINT6? 
Is it possible to have something like this in my source code:

interrupt void c_int11()  //interrupt service routine
{
   //implementation of filter A, output from the codec
}

interrupt void c_int4()  //interrupt service routine
{
   //implementation of filter B, output from J3, pin DB_EINT4
}

..

interrupt void c_int7()  //interrupt service routine
{
   //implementation of filter N, output from J3, pin DB_EINT7
}

There exists an asm file that configures the interrupt vector. 
Thus the changes should be like this: 
..
..
INT11: 	b 	_c_int11		;branch to ISR
		.loop 7	
		NOP
		.endloop

INT4: 	b 	_c_int4		;branch to ISR
		.loop 7	
		NOP
		.endloop

INT7: 	b 	_c_int7		;branch to ISR
		.loop 7	
		NOP
		.endloop

Can the above thoughts work in practice?

d)Is there any source (link or whatever else) that describes the equipment
demanded for converting the output signals of the DSP to RF? Is there any
commercial product that achieves the above or I have to design and
construct the appripriate circuits from the scratch?

Hello everybody,

I have been working for about 3 months with the c6711 dsk and I have
become quite familiar with its most important features. I have also
developed a number of applications using both C and assembly. For input
and output purposes, I used the on-board AD535 codec, either by means of
polling or by using the interrupt INT11. I am interested in developing an
application with 3 or 4 outputs so I must somehow overcome the single
input/single output limitation due to the codec. One possible idea would
be the use of the external connector J3, and the external interrupt pins
DB_EINT4 - DB_EINT7. Has anybody tried that before? I have also the
impression that the above mentioned pins may also be used for
memory-mapped input-output, or for input-output using the GPIO registers.
Is that correct? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
