Designing a PCB

I’m a student working on his senior design project and have been working with the C5505 ezDSP USB stick to test out code. I've now developed the code that I want and now wish to design a printed circuit board that runs this code. I've never done this before, so are there any resources available to help me get started? If I recall correctly, I need to include some sort of flash memory to store the code when the PCB doesn't have power, but that’s as much as I know. 

  • You can go to the internet search with "how to design pcb" and there are many sites on such subject, good luck.

    Common practice is using flash memory to store boot code. You can refer to C5505 ezDSP schematic as a start.

    Regards.

  • I suppose the real problem is my need for non-volatile memory and lack of knowledge of how to implement it in a PCB. My university orders PCBs from another company, so how do I get my code onto the memory and is it done before or after the PCB has been built? Also, how do I get the DSP unit to interact with the memory? I apologize if any of these questions are unclear.
