How to connect an ADC to a DSP board

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C6748

hello,

I'm still new to DSP development, so there are many things I don't understand. Sorry.

I want to use a DSP to demodulate a section of analog signal in real time, because the algorithm is not complicated so I don't require much performance from the DSP, and I guess most of the DSP development boards meet my requirements, such as TMS320C6748 LCDK.  

For the ADC, I need at least 2MSPS sample rate and 14-Bit Resolution. I found many ADC EVMs on TI's website that met my requirements, but I don't quite understand how to connect the ADC EVM to the DSP board.

I've browsed through many forum posts and found that many DSPs connect to ADCs via the SPI interface. And the SPI of the ADC EVM is on the PHI connector. But TI's ADC EVM doesn't connect directly to the DSP board, right? Do I need to buy an additional FPGA expansion card? I hope you can give some advice to help me choose ADC and DSP.

Besides that I have some questions about the JTAG emulator. If I want to program the DSP board, do I have to use the emulator?

Thank you.
