OMAP3 beagle board as development platform

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP3530

Hi All,

I am newbie to TI processor. I bought beagle board. I am planning to use this as development platform first as I am new to this TI world after familiarizing I will start some simple audio application.

Here I have doubts

1. Can I use Beagle board as ref. platform for developing audio algorithms for TMS320C64x+ DSP( which is in OMAP3530 )

2. What are the hardware and software tools required to start the development

3. how I can test any algorithm developed

4. Please suggest whether I can use BB for starter or is there any other alternative for starting algorithm development

Kindly clarify.

 

Thanks in advance

  • 1) If you are interested in developing algorithms for 64x+ DSP, you have many choices including Beagle Board.

    2) DSP development is normally done via CCS/JTAG; CCS being the IDE and JTAG adaptor being the connection to the hardware.

    3) You should be able to test any c64x+ algorithm via CCS/JTAG

    4) It is a perfectly valid starting point.  Alternatively, you may want to consider a board such as our DM6437 EVM; the advantage of this board is that it comes with on-board JTAG emulation (no JTAG needed).  DM6437 EVM is a little more expensive ($495) than Beagle Board, but external JTAG needed for Beagle Board can run thousands of dollars (XDS510USB is a popular choice and runs at $989).

    I hope this helps.
