About Embedded Target for C6000 DSP

Embedded Target for TI C6000 DSP lets you use Simulink^® to model digital signal processing algorithms from blocks in the DSP Blockset, and then use Real-Time Workshop^® to generate (or build) ANSI C code targeted to the Texas Instruments DSP development boards or Texas Instruments Code Composer Studio^TM Integrated Development Environment (CCS IDE). The Embedded Target for TI C6000 DSP takes the generated C code and uses Texas Instruments (TI) tools to build specific machine code depending on the TI board you use. The build process downloads the targeted machine code to the selected hardware and runs the executable on the digital signal processor. After downloading the code to the board, your digital signal processing (DSP) application runs automatically on your target.

Supported Hardware For Targets and Links

Using the C6000 target in Real-Time Workshop, the Embedded Target for TI C6000 DSP supports the following boards produced by TI.

Supported Board Designation
Board Description

TMS320C6701 EVM
C6701 Evaluation Module.

TMS320C6711 DSK
C6711 DSP Starter Kit.

C6xxx simulators in CCS
Digital signal processor simulators in CCS. You cannot run models on your simulator because simulators do not simulate the codec on the board. You can generate code to the simulators and use CCS and RTDX links with them.

To support code generation for your C6701 EVM, the Embedded Target for TI C6000 DSP offers an option for the C6000 target that provides a Real-Time Workshop (RTW) target you use to generate executable code that runs on the C6701 Evaluation Module, or to build a project in CCS IDE. You select this option when you set the simulation paremeters in Real-Time Workshop for your model.

Within the same C6000 target in Real-Time Workshop, the C6711 option lets you generate code specifically for the C6711 DSK or to build a project in CCS. When you set the simulation paramters for your model in Real-Time Workshop, you can choose to generate C6711 specific executable code.

Texas Instruments produces the TMS320C6701 Evaluation Module (C6701 EVM) and the TMS320C6711 DSK to help developers create digital signal processing applications for the Texas Instruments TMS320C6701 or C6711 processors (C6701 DSP and C6711 DSP). You can create, test, and deploy your processing software and algorithms or filters on the target processors without the difficulties inherent in starting with the digital signal processor itself and building the support hardware to test the application on the processor. Instead, the developement boards provide the input hardware, output hardware, timing circuitry, memory, and power for the digital signal processors. TI provides the software tools, such as the C compiler, linker, assembler, and integrated development environment, for PC users to develop, download, and test their algorithms and applications on the processors.
