TMS320C6000 EVM Daughterboard Interface
Brian G. Carlson · 1998
This application note provides information on how to interface a daughterboard to the TMS320C62x EVM, TMS320C62x McEVM, and TMS320C67x EVM. An introduction on the daughterboard concept is provided identifying the advantages of using this approach for rapid prototyping and accelerated product developments. Details on the daughterboard design are provided including identification of the memory and peripheral interfaces’ signals, buffering considerations, power budget and mechanical and connector information. A list of potential daughterboards is presented to reinforce the point that when they are used with the EVM, a wide range of applications can be addressed. By designing daughterboards based on the information in this application note, a standardized, modular approach can be used that allows system designers to concentrate on systemspecific issues rather than the core DSP and memory design. By using the low-cost EVM to address a wide range of applications, by simply exchanging daughterboards, users do not have to learn a new platform or write new utilities and board support software for every project.
