[sdiy] TI DSPs open source compiler?

[Jay Schwichtenberg]

Bert,

Check their web site.

http://focus.ti.com/docs/tool/list.jhtml?familyId=44&toolTypeId=30

The good stuff costs but there are a number of frebbies for MS-DOS and a few
Windows things.

Don't forget to look at Analog Device's and Motorola's WEB sites even if you
do chose TI. They all have a great deal of app notes and tech info on signal
processing.

Keep in mind that most of the low end fixed point DSPs only have a 16 bit
I2S interface. Personally I'd go floating point even for 16 bits. Still you
will probably benefit from using a 24 bit converter since they have better
signal quality. Go multibit vs single bit, don't use codecs and  stay away
from multimedia converters vs prosumer ones if you're interested in quality.

Once you pick a DSP you might also check e-bay for a demo board. If your
time is worth anything to you this can get you a long ways down the road sw
wise. Most have low end codecs on them.

Even though this is a AD DSP the link might be of interest:

Check out the AES/EBU thread that has been going over the last couple of
days also.

  Hi all,



  Just wondering: are there open source compilers available for TI DSPs ? Or
is there a way to get a C/C++ compiler from TI that is not limited somehow?
I’m thinking about doing a project around one of those cheap 7$ fixed point
DSPs from TI. I found a 24-bit DAC from TI too that has a I2S interface but
no clue how to interface that to the McBSP port of the DSP (yet). You have
guessed it by now: I am completely clueless about TI DSP development.



  Any suggestions welcome !
