Hello Mike,
the 6727 isn't at all ideal for my project, which is audio processing. I
would miss a lot from 6713 (Timer, McBsp ...). The first step would be
to simulate only the algorithm. But I have to go over the memory I/O to.
I need to read about 19 Mwords/sec and write about 16 Mwords/sec in
blocks of 8 words.
I've asked TI about an evaluation CCS which supports 6727. I got no
response so far.
