Selecting the Export Mode

You can export a filter by generating a C header file, or by writing the filter coefficients directly to target memory. The following table summarizes when and how to use the two export modes.

Export Mode
When to Use
Suggested Use

Generate C header file
You have not yet allocated memory in your target DSP for the filter coefficients to export.
(For a sample generated header file, see Contents of the C Header File Generated in Task 1.)
Create a program file from the generated C header file. Loading this program file into your target allocates static memory locations in the target, and exports your filter coefficients to these memory locations. You may want to edit the header file so that the program file allocates extra target memory, providing you more freedom to change your filter. See Allocating Sufficient or Extra Memory for Filter Coefficients in the next section.

Write directly to memory
You have already allocated memory in your target DSP for the filter coefficients to export.
Tune your filter coefficients in FDATool, and write the updated filter coefficients directly to the allocated target memory. See the next section, Cautions Regarding Writing Directly to Memory.
