Dear All
I am new to developing on DSP's. I have had a DM6437 EVM for a few months, but seem to have got nowhere. I have managed to run the demos and made a few 'blind' alterations - some worked and others didn't.
Looking at the documentation and sample code is just getting me more and more confused.
I have an application in mind that needs to use the SPI function of the McBSP. Looking at various documents, I have come to understand that the PSP driver does not have the functionality to use the McBSP-as-SPI. The documents continue to suggest that this could be added either via extending the PSP Driver included, or write low level instructions using the (R)CSL. I have started to look at the PSP driver, but at ~4000 lines of code (ddc_mcbsp.c) it is a long (confusing) read.
I am not sure which way is more efficient/effective/simple etc. I have also seen a post in this forum stating that there is a SPI driver in the PSP for the DM648. Would it be possible to modify this to target the DM6437 instead?
My main development background is developing using Microchip PIC18 micrcontrollers both in C and assembly. The reason for using this chip, is I would like to interface to VPSS. In this light, is there are getting started guide to developing with DSP/BIOS - reading the example soruce code is not exactly simple?
Thank you in advance
