If I want to purchase this product, what else do I need to purchase along with in order to start signal filtering?

  • John,

    You'll need to supply more information for exactly what you mean. 

    We have an Evaluation Board that you can order that contains this DSP and a number of peripherals. 

    See: http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/tmdxevm6678.html

    This should be all you need to initially get started in writing code.

    Regards,
    Dan

     

  • PolyCore Software has tools and runtime software that assist the developer in getting started with the C6678 EVM by simplifying the setup and IPC across the cores.  The MCAPI standard has been used.

    The tools and runtime are integrated with CCSv5 and DSPBIOS.   See www.PolyCoreSoftware.com

     

  • Hi, I don't quite understand the difference of the three options

    :

     

    • TMDXEVM6678L - TMS320C6678 Lite Evaluation Module
      • The TMDXEVM6678L EVM comes with XDS100 onboard emulation capability. In addition, an external emulator via JTAG emulation header can be also be used.

    • TMDXEVM6678LE - TMS320C6678 Lite Evaluation Module with XDS560V2 Emulation
      • The TMDXEVM6678LE EVM comes with XDS560V2 onboard emulation capability. The included XDS560 mezzanine card uses the TI 60-pin JTAG emulation header.
      • NOTE: The TMDXEVM6678LE is expected to be available sometime in 2Q2011. Please sign up to be notified when it is released for order.

    • TMDXEVM6678LXE - TMS320C6678 Lite Evaluation Module with Encryption and XDS560V2
      • The TMDXEVM6678LXE EVM with encryption enabled comes with XDS560V2 onboard emulation capability. The included XDS560 mezzanine card uses the TI 60-pin JTAG emulation header.
      • NOTE: Please contact your local TI sales representative to request the TMDXEVM6678LXE.
  • The 6678L comes with an XDS100 emulator on board.  This is the lowest end of our emulation spectrum.  You get typical debug capability (run/halt/step/etc).  The emulation clock runs on the order of 10MHz. This is the clock that scans emulation requests into/out of the device.  It's totally unrelated to the CPU clock. It just means that the time to load, single step, etc will be longer than on a higher end emulator.

    The 6678LE comes with an XDS560v2 emulator.  This is at the top end of the emulation spectrum.  You get all the functionality you would with an XDS100, but loads, single step, etc are significantly faster.  You also get additional features, such as the ability to System Trace. 

    And the 6678LXE also has the XDS560v2 built on, but provides some additional encryption features, such as secure boot, memory protection, etc.
