Easy-to-use cost-efficient development tools for C667x multicore DSPs

This post is sponsored by Texas Instruments. Texas Instruments' (TI) TMS320C6678 Lite Evaluation Modules (EVMs) are easy-to-use, cost-efficient development tools that help developers quickly get started with designs using the C6678 or C6674 or C6672 multicore DSP. The EVMs include an on-board, single C6678 processor with robust connectivity options that allows users to use this AMC form factor card in various systems. They also work as a stand-alone board. The software accompanying the 6678L EVM includes the Code Composer Studio Integrated Development Environment version 5 (CCS v5), and the Multicore Software Development Kit (MCSDK) that includes the Board Support Package (BSP), Chip Support Library (CSL), Power On Self Test (POST), Network Development Kit (NDK), SYSBIOS, and Out of Box (OOB) Demonstration software. The emulation capability and software included with the EVMs allows users to program the C66x DSP to benchmark algorithms for the C6678/4/2 DSPs.
