MATLAB + Visual Studio support for Motorola EVM boards

Started by Jeff Brower October 15, 2002
Leonard-

Signalogic DirectDSP software supports MATLAB and Visual Studio communication
with
EVM563xx boards using a parallel port interface (small hardware adapter PCB).
COFF
download, processor/board control, symbol address lookup and read/write, bulk
memory
transfers, buffer ready callbacks, it's all there. Used to be a hot product in
1998-1999 :-)

If someone is interested in taking the driver source code (includes both host
side
piece and DSP side piece) and modifying to support 568xx series EVM boards, we
might
be willing to provide guidance and advice.

One key would be whether the 568xx devices contain an HPIO8 or very similar host
interface.

The following FAQ (DSP-14254) from our website may help you, in particular try
the
exercises that it talks about:

Problem:

How is Matlab supported by 56800 development tools?

Solution:

Matlab is not directly supported by our development tools, but you can use
Matlab to
generate inputs, which are readable by the EVM using SDK's File I/O. The results
of
processing these inputs can be uploaded from the EVM back to your PC using File
I/O.
Matlab can then process the outputs and compare them with predicted results.

For more details on SDK's File I/O see Section 6.2 in the SDK Targeting manual
belonging to your EVM.

Examples of using File I/O and Matlab are available for 56F805, 56F807, and
56F826
EVMs. Download the 56800 FIR Lab SEA.exe
(http://e-www.motorola.com/support/technial/faq/DSP/faq14254/FAQ_14254_FIR_Lab_S\
EA_V1.exe
)or 56800 IIR Lab SEA.exe
(http://e-www.motorola.com/support/technial/faq/DSP/faq14254/FAQ_14254_IIR_Lab_S\
EA_V1.exe
) and install it at the root of your Drive D:, then set the default directory in
Matlab to D:\FIR_Lab\Matlab or D:\IIR_Lab\Matlab. In this directory you will
find the
Matlab script FilterLabScript.m which you can run from Matlab. Follow the
prompts in
Matlab.

Subject: [motoroladsp] DSP56807 FileIO Data

Hi, all:

I `m using DSP56F807EVM FILEIO to save ADC data into a data file on
hostPC. Next, I have to process these data by MatLab Wavelet Toolbox.
The problem is I cannot load data into MatLab. Does anyone have
experience to handle the problem? Thanks for help in advance.
