hardware simulator in CCS IDE to run this tutorial. The tutorial uses the

TMS320C6 7 11 DSK as the board, with the C6711 DSP as the pro cesso r.

After you comple te the tutorial, ei ther in the demonstration form or by

entering the functions along with this text, you are ready to begin u sing

RTDX with your applications and har dwa re.

Introducing the Tutorial for Using RTDX

Digital signal p roce ssing development efforts beg in with an idea for processing

data; an application area, such as audio or wireless communications or

multimedia computing; and a platform or hardware to host the signal

processing. Usually these p rocess ing eff orts in volve applying stra teg ies l ike

signal ﬁltering, compression, and transformation to change data content; or

isolate features in data; or transfer data from one form to another or one

placetoanother.

Developers create algorithms they need to accomplish the desired result. After

they have the algorithms, they use models and DSP processor development

tools to test their algorithms, to deter mine whether the processing achieves

the goal, and whether the p rocessin g works on the proposed platform.

Embedded IDE Link CC and the links for RTDX and CCS IDE ease the job

of taking algori thms from the model r e alm to the real world of the processor

on which the algorithm runs.

RTDX and lin k s fo r C CS IDE p rovide a communications path way to

manipulate data and processing programs on your processor. RTDX offers

real-time data exchange i n two directions between MATLAB software and

your processor process. Da ta you send to the processor has little effect on the

running process and plotting the data you retrieve from the processor lets you

see how your algo rithms are performing in real time .

To introduce the techniques and tools available in Embedded IDE Link CC for

using RTDX, the following procedures use m any of the m ethods in the link

software to conﬁgure the processor, open and enable channels, s end data to

the processor, and clean up after you ﬁnish your testing. Among the functions

covered are:
