DSP Stuff

[Quint]

TI has unbelievable support for their development products and I usually see
c54x dev. kits (www.ti.com/sc/details52) with software as cheap as $100 with
coupon or $150 flat out.  The materials available are unreal for all TI
stuff, cd or book of all data FREE!  Their new c6000 is just unreal.  Its
kit is $1k - $1.5k.  This is a totally different best though.  The COOLEST
thing is their new analog devices, such as the MSP's or mixed-signal
processor that take dsp output to analog output!  They have conferences for
free I believe bi/years? as well as deelopment contest.  Check it out.
Coupons are usually available in EE times and such.

Also if you on a quest with a budget don't forget that what started the
craze was apples usage for programmable lucent dsp's in the 660, 880 av
(audiovisual) series you can now pluck up from $150-$300, giving you a
programmable dsp, realtime input & output (hard disk recording) of audio &
video.
They was also an early ppc version 601's but I think 6600,8800? which also
are very cheap.  This is a great way to go if your just learning.

There is a SHARC EZ-KIT (has an ADSP-21061 on it). I got mine from Maplin
in the UK for about £160. Haven't had much time to play with it yet. The
chip itself is definitely NOT a DIY item -- 100s of the tiniest surface
mount legs I've seen, spaced very close together.
