Features: The TMS320C6000 series DSP chip is one of the most advanced and cost-effective DSP chips available. The first edition of this book was written shortly after the TMS320C6000 series first-generation products were introduced to China. In the more than two years since the first edition was published, the TMS320C6000 series has made significant advancements. To meet the development needs of the C6000 series DSP chip, we have rewritten TMS320C6000 Series DSPs: Principles and Applications (Second Edition). Compared to the first edition, the second edition includes the following changes:
1. A comprehensive introduction to the newly launched C621x, C671x series, and C64xx series DSP chips in the past two years.
2. In terms of software development, the focus is on the C6000 CCS (Code Composer Studio) integrated development environment. CCS is the mainstream development tool for C6000 series DSPs and has now been released in version 2.1.
3. Based on changes in TI’s documentation, the original content of the first edition has been substantially revised and adjusted. For example, the "TMS320C6000 CPU and Instruction Set Reference Guide" has been updated six times since the first edition was written, with version numbers ranging from SPRU189A to SPRU189F. Similarly, the C/C++ compiler for C6000 originally recommended using the const keyword for standalone pointer variables, while the new version requires the restrict keyword and specifically reminds users not to use const. This book reflects these major changes in TI’s documentation.
4. The content arrangement has been reorganized. For instance, Chapter 2 now includes an introduction to the instruction set, while all hardware resources within the chip have been moved to Chapter 5. Before discussing C program optimization in Chapter 4, descriptions of C language programming and C compiler usage have been added.
Based on high-speed digital signal processors (DSPs), real-time digital signal processing technology has developed rapidly in recent years and has been widely applied. The TMS320C6000 is a fixed-point and floating-point series of DSPs introduced by Texas Instruments (TI). The fixed-point products achieve peak processing power of 4800 MIPS, while the floating-point products reach 1350 MFLOPS, making them among the highest-performing DSPs in the world. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the chip architecture, software development, and hardware design of the C6000 series. Building on the first edition, significant revisions have been made to the content, updated technical references, and added introductions to new chips such as C621x/C671x/C64x and the Code Composer Studio integrated development environment. Additionally, key issues and technologies in C6000 system design have been summarized.
The target readers of this book are research and engineering technicians engaged in signal processing, as well as graduate students and senior undergraduate students in communication, information, and signal processing fields.
