Welcome to the World of eXpressDSP™

1.1Welcome to the World of eXpressDSP™

TI has a variety of development tools available that enable quick movement through the digital signal processor (DSP) based application design process from concept, to code/ build, through debug analysis, tuning, and on to testing. Many of the tools are part of TI’s real-time eXpressDSP™ software and development tool strategy, which is very helpful in quickly getting started as well as saving valuable time in the design process. TI’s real-time eXpressDSP Software and Development Tool strategy includes three components that allow developers to use the full potential of TMS320™ DSPs:

∙Powerful DSP-integrated development tools in the Code Composer Studio IDE

∙eXpressDSP Software, including:

–Scalable, real-time software foundation: DSP/BIOS™ kernel

–Standards for application interoperability and reuse: TMS320 DSP Algorithm Standard

–Design-ready code that is common to many applications to get you started quickly on DSP design: eXpressDSP Reference Frameworks

∙A growing base of TI DSP-based products from TI’s DSP Third Party Network, including eXpressDSP-compliant products that can be easily integrated into systems

Development Flow

1.2Development Flow

The development flow of most DSP-based applications consists of four basic phases: application design, code creation, debug, and analysis/tuning. This user’s guide will provide basic procedures and techniques in program development flow using Code Composer Studio.
