Digital signal processor (DSP Processor)
Page Contents
Digital signal processor (DSP)/DSP Processor is a special type of microprocessor (or a SIP block), with its architecture optimized for the operational needs of digital signal processing.
Digital Signal Processors (DSP processor) take real-world signals like voice, audio, video, temperature, pressure, or position that have been digitized and then mathematically manipulate them. A DSP is designed for performing mathematical functions like “add”, “subtract”, “multiply” and “divide” very quickly.

What is inside a DSP processor?

A DSP contains these key components:
- Data Memory: Stores the information to be processed by processor
- Program Memory: Stores the programs which the DSP will use to process data
- Input/Output: Serves a range of functions to connect to the outside world
- Compute Engine:It performs the math processing, accessing the program from the Program Memory and data from  Data Memory
Required Softwares
Download board support files from Spectrum Digital Website.
Unpack all files to C:
Download CSL form TI website
Install it at C:C6xCSL directory
Set all of jumpers on SW3 and SW1 to OFF
Connect USB then connect power
Run 6713SDKDiag.exe from C:DSK6713drivers to check emulator connection
