Glossary

block: The three least significant bits of the program address. These corre- spond to the address within a fetch packet of the first instruction being addressed.

BOARD: The BOARD-specific API Module.

board support library (BSL): The BSL is a set of application programming interfaces (APIs) consisting of target side DSP code used to configure and control board level peripherals.

boot: The process of loading a program into program memory.

boot mode: The method of loading a program into program memory. The C6x DSP supports booting from external ROM or the host port interface (HPI).

BSL: See board support library.

byte: A sequence of eight adjacent bits operated upon as a unit.

C

cache: A fast storage buffer in the central processing unit of a computer.

cache module: CACHE is an API module containing a set of functions for managing data and program cache.

cache controller: System component that coordinates program accesses between CPU program fetch mechanism, cache, and external memory.

CCS: Code Composer Studio.

central processing unit (CPU): The portion of the processor involved in arithmetic, shifting, and Boolean logic operations, as well as the genera- tion of data- and program-memory addresses. The CPU includes the central arithmetic logic unit (CALU), the multiplier, and the auxiliary regis- ter arithmetic unit (ARAU).

CHIP: See CHIP module.

CHIP module: The CHIP module is an API module where chip-specific and device-related code resides. CHIP has some API functions for obtaining device endianess, memory map mode if applicable, CPU and REV IDs, and clock speed.

chip support library (CSL): The CSL is a set of application programming interfaces (APIs) consisting of target side DSP code used to configure and control all on-chip peripherals.
