Description
Today's embedded and real-time systems contain a mix of processor types: off-the-shelf microcontrollers, digital signal processors (DSPs),
and custom processors. The decreasing cost of DSPs has made these sophisticated chips very attractive for a number of embedded and real-time
applications, including automotive, telecommunications, medical imaging, and many others?including even some games and home appliances.
However, developing embedded and real-time DSP applications is a complex task influenced by many parameters and issues.
This introduction
to DSP software development for embedded and real-time developers shows how to use digital signal processors efficiently in embedded
and real-time systems. It covers software and firmware design principles, from processor architectures and basic theory to the selection
of appropriate languages and basic algorithms. The reader will find practical guidelines, diagrammed techniques, tool descriptions, and
code templates for developing and optimizing DSP software and firmware. The book also covers integrating and testing DSP systems as well
as managing the DSP development effort. The accompanying CDROM contains the code from the design examples as well as design tools and
product demos.
Audience
Computer engineers, embedded systems designers, software engineers who are using or planning to use DSPs in their real-time and embedded designs.
Computer and software engineering students.
