Overview

Texas Instruments has launched three free software development tools that enable developers easily leverage the real-time, intensive signal processing power of the TMS320C6000 digital signal processor (DSP) in TI’s integrated DSP + ARM and DSP Only processors.

C6Run Software Development Tool for TI DSP+ARM Processors

Using C6Run, ARM and Linux developers can easily port suitable portions of their current ARM applications to run on the DSP. They can achieve this without restructuring or rewriting their ARM code or learning DSP architecture. Partitioning code between the DSP and the ARM cores offloads the ARM and allows the DSP to efficiently process signal-intensive algorithms, improving overall performance. Efficient partitioning of code from the ARM to the DSP can increase performance of certain algorithms by as much as 10 times.

C6Accel Software Development Tool for TI ARM+DSP Processors

For system engineers looking to reduce development time by leveraging ready-to-use DSP SW, C6Accel provides access to 100s of optimized, ready-to-use DSP kernels. The developers can now add DSP functionality to their application and differentiate their product. C6Accel allows system developers to realize greater value from the DSP beyond the traditional codecs operation.

Key Features and Benefits

C6 Tool	Feature	Benefit
C6EZRun	Creates ARM-side interfaces that abstract the DSP Developer may quickly partition code between the DSP and ARM A simple, familiar GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)-like interface	Allows developers to program the DSP without writing DSP code or changing their ARM code Offloads the ARM, allowing the DSP to handle intense calculations and optimizing overall system performance Enables developers to use an interface with which they are familiar when porting their ARM code, eliminating the need to learn about DSP architecture and underlying technologies
C6EZAccel	Provides easy access to 100s of optimized DSP kernels Ready-to-use algorithms that run on the DSP ARM-side API library that abstracts the DSP	Allows systems engineers to add differentiation without writing DSP code, accelerating time to market for signal processing, analytics and medical applications Facilitates more efficient use of the processor, leading to fewer upgrades Enables engineers to use DSP functionality without knowing DSP architecture
