Introduction

Embedded Target for the TI TMS320C6000 DSP Platformintegrates Simulink^® and MATLAB^® with Texas Instruments eXpressDSP^TM tools. The software collection lets you develop and validate digital signal processing designs from concept through code. The Embedded Target for TI C6000 DSP consists of the TI C6000 target that automates rapid prototyping on your C6000 hardware targets. The target uses C code generated by Real-Time Workshop^® and your TI development tools to build an executable file for your targeted processor. The Real-Time Workshop build process loads the targeted machine code to your board and runs the executable file on the digital signal processor.

Using the Embedded Target for TI C6000 DSP and Real-Time Workshop, you can create executable code for the following boards:

• C6701 Evaluation Module from Texas Instruments, revision 1 or later
• C6711 DSP Starter Kit from Texas Instruments

Additionally, one of the RTW build options builds a Code Composer Studio^TM project from the C code generated by Real-Time Workshop.

All the features provided by Code Composer Studio (CCS), such as tools for editing, building, debugging, code profiling, and project management, work to help you develop applications using MATLAB, Simulink, Real-Time Workshop, and your supported hardware. When you use this target, the build process creates a new project in Code Composer Studio and populates the project with the required files.

As long as your TI hardware, whether built by TI or custom, supports communications over JTAG and RTDX, you can use the Embedded Target for TI C6000 DSP with your hardware, enabling you to maximize your development time and effort.
