EE 345S Real-Time Digital Signal Processing Laboratory - Lecture 1
Lecture by Prof. Güner Arslan
Announcements
- Office hours for the TAs
- Mr. Alex Olson, Tuesday 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM
- Mr. Ahmad Sheikh, Monday 11 AM - 2 PM
- Mr. Daifeng Wang, Tuesday 2 PM - 4 PM
- Laboratory
- All instructional PCs on the second, third, and fifth floors of ENS have
the following software installed:
- Code Composer Studio 2.2 integrated software development environment
for Texas Instruments DSP boards
- LabVIEW 7.1
- LabVIEW DSP
Test Integration Toolkit 2.0 for real-time test and measurement
- Matlab 7.0
- We only have about 8 Texas Instruments TMS320C6713 DSP starter kits.
These boards don't have much
protection so it is crucial to be extremely careful with the them.
You will have to check-out boards before the lab.
- If you come fully prepared for lab, you will likely not have to return
the second-floor labs to finish the lab work. In the case that you have to
return, the second floor labs in ENS are expected to be open as follows:
- Monday-Thursday 9:00 AM to 10:45 PM
- Friday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
- Saturday 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM
- Texas Instruments
Technical Support then click on DSP Knowledge Base under DSP & OMAP
- Wireless Networking and
Communications Seminar on Fridays from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM in ENS 637.
Refreshments provided.
- Recent company announcements
- On January 19, 2004, Analog Devices announces that its Blackfin digital
signal processor is in the new Roku Soundbridge network music players. The
Blackfin processor is responsible for multi-format decoding support (MP3,
WMA, AIFF, WAV and AAC files).
- On January 19, 2004, Sundance announced a new module based on the TI
TMS320C6713 digital signal processor to ease development of DSP-based,
Internet-ready applications. The module combines the C6713 DSP, an ARM CPU,
and a Xilinx field programmable gate array (FPGA).
- On January 23, 2004, Texas Instruments announced its first 1
GHz programmable digital signal processor: TMS320C6414, C6415, and
C6416. Applications include wireless base stations and video conferencing.
- On June 27, 2004, Texas Instruments announces a $1.95 DSP. Flash-based
TMS320LF2401A and ROM-based TMS320LC2401A combine conventional DSP processor
and microcontroller functionalities. More
information.
- On August 16, 2004, Texas Instruments announces the C6711D
floating-point VLIW DSP to run at 250 MHz and cost $18 each in 10,000-unit
quantities.
- On August 16, 2004, FreeScale announces a new version of the DSP56321
fixed-point conventional DSP to run at 270 MHz and cost $50 each in
10,000-unit quantities.
- On January 19, 2005, Texas Instruments announces that Samsung has
adopted TI image processor technology in its "first camera phone with a hard
disk drive for storing images and video... [and] for three additional camera
phones." More
