About the Embedded Target for TI C6000 DSP (Embedded Target for Texas Instruments C6000 DSPs)

Embedded Target for Texas Instruments C6000 DSPs

Getting Started

This section describes the hardware and software you need to run the Embedded Target for TI C6000 DSP on your Microsoft WindowsPC.

Embedded Target for TI C6000 DSP runs on Microsoft Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0 Workstation and Server, and Windows 2000 platforms.

Platform Requirements--Hardware and Operating System

To run the Embedded Target for TI C6000 DSP, your host PC must meet the following hardware configuration:

Intel Pentium or Intel Pentium processor compatible PC
64 MB RAM (128 MB recommended)
20 MB hard disk space available after installing MATLAB
Color monitor
One full-length peripheral component interface (PCI) slot available to use the C6701 EVM internally in your PC
CD-ROM drive
Microsoft Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0 Server or Workstation, or Windows 2000

You may need additional hardware, such as signal sources and generators, microphones, oscilloscopes or signal display systems, and assorted audio cables to test and evaluate your digital signal processing application on your hardware.

Refer to your documentation from The MathWorks for more information on installing the software required to support Embedded Target for TI C6000 DSP, as shown in Table 1-1.

Installed Product
Additional Information

Assembler
Creates object code (.obj) for C6000 boards from assembly code.

Compiler
Compiles C code from the blocks in Simulink models into object code (.obj). As a by-product of the compile process, you get assembly code (.asm) as well.

Linker
Combines various input files, such as object files and libraries.

Code Composer Studio 2.1
Texas Instruments integrated development environment (IDE) that provides code debugging and development tools.

TI C6000 miscellaneous utilities
Various tools for developing applications for the C6000 digital signal processor family.

Code Composer Setup Utility
Program you use to configure your CCS installation by selecting your target boards or simulator.
