Best DSP Platform

For some instant i am using dsp TMS320C6713BZDP225 for doing my DSP application.

But now i would like to use TMS320C6745BPTP3 dsp for doing the same.

For this i performed a  compactibility check of both dsp's.

I would like to know the tool needed to simulate and emulate (I mean the CCS version).

One more question is the above two dsp's are Fixed Point or Floating Point or Support Both.

Is there any other concerns for doing the above dsp change !

Thanks in Advance!

Dave

  • Dave,

    CCSv3.3 SR12+ and CCSv4.1x+ should have simulation configurations for both C6713 and C674x.  See this link for enabling C674x in CCSv3: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/-mv_option_to_use_with_the_C674x

    C6713 is floating point.  C674x supports both floating point and fixed point instructions.

  • Hi Dave,

    I would recommend using the latest CCS version, because it consists of enhancements and bug-fixing from previous versions. You can look up latest CCS version in CCS Wiki. It wil support both simulation and emulation of the DSP cores.

    About being fixed/floating point , it is mentioned in their datasheets. I think first DSP is floating point while the second one supports both.

    Concerns for change depends on your application. You would like to ensure that your DSP application doesnt use any memory intensive algorithms which might not be supported by your DSP processor after upgrading. Also, you would like to ensure, the maximum cloc kspeed supported so that your application is supported.
