About This Manual

The TMS320C6000t DSK Board Support Library (BSL) is a set of application programming interfaces (APIs) used to configure and control all on-board de- vices. It is intended to make it easier for developers by eliminating much of the tedious grunt-work usually needed to get algorithms up and running in a real system.

Some of the advantages offered by the BSL include: device ease of use, a level of compatibility between devices, shortened development time, portability, some standardization, and hardware abstraction. A version of the BSL is avail- able for the TMS320C6711t Developers Starter Kit (DSK).

This document is organized as follows:

-Introduction – a high level overview of the BSL

-Six BSL API module chapters

-Glossary

How to Use This Manual

The information in this document describes the contents of the TMS320C6000t board support library (BSL) as follows:

-Chapter 1 provides an overview of the BSL, includes a table showing BSL API module support for various C6000 devices, and lists the API modules.

-Each additional chapter discusses an individual BSL API module and pro- vides:

J A description of the API module

J A table showing the APIs within the module and a page reference for more specific information

J A module API Reference section in alphabetical order listing the BSL API functions, enumerations, type definitions, structures, constants, and global variables. Examples are given to show how these elements are used.

This allows for the simultaneous execution of multiple instructions, leading to enhanced processing speeds. The architecture is designed to support both fixed-point and floating-point operations, offering flexibility for different computational requirements. The use of VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word) technology allows the execution of multiple operations in a single instruction cycle, further maximizing performance.

The TMS320C6000 family utilizes high-speed memory architectures, including a sophisticated cache system that minimizes memory access delays. Built-in hardware accelerators for specific functions, such as fast Fourier transforms (FFTs) and filter algorithms, streamline processing tasks that are critical in real-time applications. The DSPs also support a range of data formats, enabling them to handle diverse data types efficiently.

An important aspect of the TMS320C6000 series is its scalability. The family includes a wide range of devices, from low-power processors suitable for portable equipment to high-performance models designed for demanding computation tasks. This scalability ensures that developers can select the appropriate DSP for their specific application requirements.

In terms of power efficiency, the TMS320C6000 processors are designed to deliver high performance with optimized power consumption. This makes them ideal for battery-operated devices where power management is a critical concern. Additionally, TI's software tools, such as Code Composer Studio, provide developers with an integrated development environment that simplifies the design process and enhances productivity.

Lastly, the extensive support for various communication interfaces, including PCI, USB, and Ethernet, allows for seamless integration into existing systems. With a rich ecosystem of hardware and software support, the TMS320C6000 series remains a popular choice for engineers seeking powerful and versatile DSP solutions in modern electronic design.
