Well, I recently bought a Symphony Soundbite Development kit (DSP56371), and
downloaded the Symphony Studio Software to program it. So far I've found
two example programs. One is an extremely simple program that demonstrates
importing and building projects, which is extremely trivial. The other I
downloaded from Freescale's website on the development kit, which is called
Eight-channel-C-template.
http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=SYMP_SOUNDBITE
This program is rather complicated and completely undocumented. It also
doesn't seem to build properly, and I still haven't figured out how to
load it onto the DSP. At this point, it seems as though I might have made a
mistake buying this hardware, because there doesn't seem to be any
documentation on how to actually program the DSP. Does anyone have any
documentation or any advice regarding these issues? Documented examples would
be most helpful, and most appreciated.

To actually learn how to program the DSP56371 you'll want to start with
documentation related to the DSP itself, like the 56300 Family Manual, 56371
Reference Manual and Data Sheet. Attached is some basic passthru code written
for the 56371, but for use with the DSPAUDIOEVMMB1E and 56371 daughtercard.
I'm sure with a little tweaking you could make it work on SoundBite as
well. It's pretty well documented and should give you a simple example to
build upon. Also, it's not in a Symphony Studio project, they're just
source files. But it could easilly be moved into Symphony Studio.
Also, I've had no issue importing, building and running the C template project. I think your build problems will likely be solved by the response to your other question. Note that the C template is two projects and one does build with an error, but it's expected.

1.) Start Symphony Studio - the program asks for a specific workplace. This is a
heritage from the IMB Smalltalk/VisualAge repository related environment Eclipse
has been derived from. Simply said, Eclipse needs _all_ project related files
imported there otherwise it doesn't know them.
2.) Use File->New->Project before you do anything using Eclipse (aka Symphony Studio). Chosing a 'Managed Make C'. Find a name for your project.
3.) After clicking 'OK' Eclipse configures your environment.
4.) Use File->Import->General->File System (could be anything else selectable here like 'Existing Project' as well), browse for the unzipped project example (archive files can also be imported to the 'repository') and 'select all' at the easiest.
5.) You find the project added to the C/C++ projects. The DSP binaries are already generated. The *.cld files can be removed using Project->Clean. (Deselect Project->Build Automatically before and remove the hook for 'Start a build immediately' in order not to get the project rebuilt instantly.
6.) Project->Build Project generates the binaries again.
7.) Switch to the 'Debug Perspective', use Run->External Tools->External Tools, select your debug interface (in your case OpenOCD 56371 SoundBite).
8.) Selecting Run->Debug should staert the application on the target board.
Hope this helps

The architecture of the 56xxx DSPs makes C compilers very tricky. The one that
comes with Symphony Studio lets you use X memory or Y memory, but not both. I
would recommend starting with the Assembly example. It is well documented and
easy to modify. I just wish I had a hard copy of the family manual to page
through.
