C6713 DSP STARTER KIT

The C6713 DSP STARTER KIT is a low cost standalone development platform that enables users to evaluate and develop applications for the TI's TMS320C6713 DSP operating at 225MHz. The starter kit also serves as a hardware reference design for the TMS320C6713 DSP. The DSP on the starter kit interfaces to on board peripherals through a 32bit wide EMIF (External Memory Interface). The SDRAM, flash and CPLD are all connected to the bus. EMIF signals are also connected daughter card expansion connectors which are used for third party add in boards. It includes 4 LEDs and a 4 position DIP switch as a simple way to provide the user with interactive feedback. Both are accessed by reading and writing to the CPLD registers. The kit is designed to work with TI's code composer studio development environment. Code composer communicates with the starter kit through an embedded JTAG emulator with a USB host interface. It can also be used with an external emulator through the external JTAG connector.
