To out a DSP into Operation

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C6457

Hello,

I have a development board (TMDSEVM6457) and I want to put the DSP into operation. I have only some experience in programming µC. Can anybody tell me, what I need respectivly how it works exactly. When I use µC I include one or more certain headerfiles, so I can use the mapped register names to work with it. Furthermore a initializationen routine is needed to make necessary set up. But how does it work with DSPs. I have read a RTOS named BIOS/DSP  should be used. And also a sofftware called MCSDK. I am a little bit confused about it, because is it really necessary to deploy this software even for simple test programms? Does the RTOS manage all the initalization stuff?

Thanks in advance

    Welcome to the TI E2E forum. I hope you will find many good answers here and in the TI.com documents and in the TI Wiki Pages. Be sure to search those for helpful information and to browse for the questions others may have asked on similar topics.

    The product folder for the TMS320C6457 is at the red auto-link on the part number. In that product folder, you will find links for all the available documentation and some links for training. You can find training information online or you can attend a live workshop.

    On the Wiki, you can look for Getting Started Guide (GSG) for CCSv5. This will introduce you to the Code Composer Studio platform where you will be developing your programs. There are sample programs available when you create a CCS project, and there are sample programs available with the documentation that came with the board.

    Regards,

    Hi,

    RandyP pointed to where you should go and as he said you will find many answers in the forum (many of those given by Randy =)

    But just to give a simple answer for your questions: MCSDK is used for the multicore DSPs; DSP/BIOS is used when you need RTOS stuff, like threads. As you will see you can build simple projects without these stuff.

    Regards
