BSL API Modules

1.2 BSL API Modules

For each on-board device, one header file and one source file will be gener- ated with the following names: bsl_device.h and bsl_device.c.

Also, a library will be built for a given board:

i.e: bsl6711dsk.lib

Note : The soource files.c are archived into a single source file bsl.src.

Table 1–1 provides a current list of BSL API Modules.

Interdependencies

Although each API module is unique, there exists some interdependency be- tween the CSL (Chip Support Library) and BSL modules. For example, the AD535 module depends on the MCBSP module because MCBSP0 is dedi- cated to serial communication.

1.2.1BSL API Module Support

Not all API modules are supported on all boards. For example, the AIC10 mod- ule is not supported on the C6711 DSK because the board does not have an AIC10 codec. When an API module is not supported, all of its header file infor- mation is conditionally compiled out, meaning the declarations will not exist. Because of this, calling an AIC10 API function on a board that does not support AIC10 results in a compiler and/or linker error.

Note: AIC10 codec is implemented on C5510evm.

TMS320C6000 specifications

The Texas Instruments TMS320C6000 series is a family of digital signal processors (DSPs) that has gained significant traction in the field of digital signal processing since its introduction. Leveraging advanced processing technologies, the TMS320C6000 DSPs are particularly recognized for their high-performance capabilities, efficiency, and versatility, making them suitable for a wide variety of applications, including telecommunications, audio and video processing, medical instrumentation, and more.

One of the main features of the TMS320C6000 series is its advanced architecture, which incorporates a superscalar pipeline. 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.
