Fixed point data

Hello,

I am new to fixed point processors. I am working on DSK 6416. I am using the tutorial in CCS v3.1 to learn. I want to use probe points and File IO to read a file from my computer into the target and write it back to the computer.  My data file has decimal numbers (including fractions, ranging from 0 - 5) in it.

1. How can I read this file in the 6416 target which is a fixed point?

2. Should I convert these numbers into Q15 format?

3. How can I write back the file in the same number format?   

 

Thanks,
