Setting Up and Configuring
Platform Requirements — Hardware and Operating
System
To run the Embedded Target for the TI TMS320C2000 DSP Platform, your
host PC must meet the following hardware configuration:
• Intel Pentium or Intel Pentium processor-compatible PC
• 64 MB RAM (128 MB recommended)
• 20 MB hard disk space available after installing MATLAB
• Color monitor
• One parallel printer port or one USB port to connect your target board to
your PC
• CD-ROM drive
• Windows NT 4.0 Server or Workstation, Windows 2000, or Windows XP
You may need additional hardware, such as signal sources and generators,
oscilloscopes or signal display systems, and assorted cables to test and evaluate
your application on your hardware.
Supported Hardware for Targets
The Embedded Target for TI C2000 DSP supports the following boards:
• TMS320F2812 eZdsp DSK — the F2812eZdsp DSP Starter Kit
• TMS320LF2407 eZdsp DSK — the LF2407eZdsp DSP Starter Kit
Spectrum Digital DSP Starter Kits (DSKs) help developers create digital signal
processing applications for the Texas Instruments DSP chips. You can create,
test, and deploy your processing software and algorithms on the target
processor without the difficulties inherent in starting with the digital signal
processor itself and building the support hardware to test the application on
the processor. Instead, the development board provides the input hardware,
output hardware, timing circuitry, memory, and power for the digital signal
processor. Texas Instruments provides the software tools, such as the C
compiler, linker, assembler, and integrated development environment, for PC
users to develop, download, and test their algorithms and applications on the
processor.
