dskinet daughter card

Started by khan...@gmail.com January 15, 2009
Hi,
I am doing a final year project about noise cancellation and error correction. I needed to connect a c6713 dsk to ethernet. I have been looking for ethernet daughter cards all around. All i could find was dsk91c111 whose software and license is exremely expensive and dskinet.
The problem with dskinet is that iit doesnt integrate with simulink and thus the realtime workshop. I called the customer services and they said it would be easy to write a matlab block code in order to interface it .
Could someone please advise what to do in such case

I suggest the the following:
1. Contact the manufacturer of the DSK91C111 to see if they have any
special "educational licensing and pricing" [I assume that you are a
student].
2. Research the effort required to use the dskinet.
3. Check again for alternative solutions.
4. Make your decision based on cost and time.

This is very similar to what we do "in the real world" when developing products.

Don't take this as personal criticism or presumptuousness on my part.

A major problem with getting assistance or designing a product is
making assumptions, deciding on a portion of the solution, and then
trying to make things fit. I will try to restate your problem and
propose a solution [I may not get the details correct, but it should
help you and others].

Requirements:
I am doing a final year project about noise cancellation and error correction.
I need to use a c6713 dsk to process the data.
I want to use Matlab and simulink for development with the 6713 DSK.
I need a PC to DSK communication link to facilitate development and to
provide input/output data for my program.

Possible Solution:
Use the HPI interface card from Educational DSP.
http://www.educationaldsp.com
This card is economically priced and designed for student projects and
experimentation. It comes with software and example programs [they
have an interface to MatLab]. You may communicate from your PC to the
DSK using USB or a serial port. Take a look at their web site and see
if it might work for you.
