Searching for a DSK at the Texas site, I've noticed that some kits are available with audio ports and audio codecs, while some DSPs are used mainly for video applications. I'd like to use a DSK that is less "guided". Any suggestions? My application processing requirements are not defined yet, but the signal must be sampled at least at 10kHz. Thank you,
Best choice for EMG signal processing

I understand you. But the question is not which DSP, but which DSK. The real question is: with which DSK from Texas will be easier to work with any kind of biomedical signals (EMG, EEG, ECG, EOG or even MMG) with at least 4 channels? I said that I do not know the application requirements yet, so I was thinking about choosing a DSP with high performance.

Usually DSP starter kits and evaluation modules are equipped with audio and/or video codecs only, but some of them also have an expansion connector which allows interfacing to different ADC or DAC evaluation boards. In most cases the additional interface card is needed for this. So with a two or three boards you can build a complete acquisition system. The list of compatible AFE boards is here: http://www.ti-estore.com/merchant2/compatible-DSP_Analog.htm TI also has several daughter boards for medical applications (for example, http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/tmdxmdkek1258.html) that are compatible with C5505 DSP evaluation module, but it seems that they don't fit your requirements because of the low bandwidth. However I'm not an expert in TI product line and could have missed something. You'd better call your local TI representatives and ask them. -- Alexander
