CCS Data Converters and DMA

Started by Kerr...@develogic.de September 15, 2006
Hello,

I'm new to DSP and am trying to hook up AD/DA converters to a C6713. Looking through the list of converters under "Data Converter Support" I noticed that only a few use DMA/EDMA to communicate with the McBSP. Is there any technical reason for this?

Does anyone have a working configuration for DAC8551 and ADS8327? I'm thinking of using a setup from another converter that uses EDMA and adjust it to match my AD/DA converter characteristics.
Thanks for the help,

Kerry
Kerry,

Any AD/DA converter that hooks up to a McBSP correctly can be set up to
use EDMA. All EDMA does is automatically read and write the serial port.
Just like the CPU does, but without requiring CPU intervention - it can
be off doing other processing.

Sounds like you are on the right track using the setup from another
converter.
