DSP Applications Using C and the TMS320C6x DSK

Rating:
Summary: The point of view of a DSP Lab instructor
Review: A very good book, easy to read and directed towards DSP Lab work
it allows you to advances quickly in know how relative to C6000 architecture and TI DSP applications . It is a DSP technology tour that together with well designed experiments give students a high level of understanding in potential applictions in related aeas( Bioengineering, Telecommunications etc.).
I strongly recommend this book for professionals and students that begin to study DSP technology.

Summary: A good applications book
Review: As an engineer with digital design experience but little DSP application experience, I found this book to be very helpful in understanding and applying everyday DSP algorithms. The book is basically a digest containing many C coded examples of realtime DSP designs including filters, tone generators, FFTs and other common DSP routines. They are easy to implement (all scipts are included on the accompanied CD) and are also fun to play with.
Assuming you have the TMS320C6711 DSK with code composer studio(I got mine on ebay for $100), you will be realizing the designs within minutes after first opening the text.
This book is not a first course in DSP. It helps to know a little about the theory (signals and systems and/or a dsp course) before diving into this text.
In conclusion, if you know a little about DSP but have no experience in applying it, I highly recommend this text.

Summary: Best book for DSP hands-on
Review: I am the author of this book and wanted to respond to the comments by the reader from NH. This book is not about the C6x DSK. Rather, as the title implies, it is on "DSP Applications". The book is "using C and the TMS320C6x DSK" to discuss various applications of DSP, using dozens of illustrative examples with the C6x DSK. Furthermore, the book is not meant to be primarily on the theoretical aspects of DSP. There are many fine texts on theoretical DSP. Again, as stated in the title, the intent of the book is to emphasize the applications of DSP using the C6x DSK as a medium to illustrate. I hope this helps any future readers considering my book.

Summary: Little to do with C6x DSK
Review: I was not impressed with this book. The title implies that it will provide some information particular to the C6x DSK, but basically the only information that it contains on the DSK is that provided by TI for free. The book is really a cursory introduction to several basic DSP topics which are truthfully covered better in other texts.

Review: If you are looking for a book to learn DSP hands-on, this is it. This is a DSP application tool that "brings to life" all that DSP theory and what to do with it.

Summary: An opinion of a DSP Lab Instructor
Review: It is a interesting book that allows students and DSP and professionals to obtain a quick satate of the art vision of TI DSP techonology. Easy to read and understand, it has good examples that I have been able to verify in the DSP Lab course I conduct. I strongly recommend this book for people that wish to advance quickly in this area and in it's applications. I would like the aurthor to consider writing similar books on DSP applications for control engineering with TI DSPs.
