Best DSP starter kit?
« on: July 12, 2011, 06:25:24 am »
Hi Guys,

I've been looking for a DSP starter kit, specifically for audio processing and was wondering if anyone has any experience with such a kit. I've looked at both the Freescale Symphony and the Microchip DSPic starter kits.

Microchip DSPic $60

Freescale Symphony Soundbite $150
http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=SYMP_SOUNDBITE

I would jump on the DPic kit but for one reason, I am wondering if it has enough grunt to crunch an FIR filter in real time? They only talk about record and playback in the documents which has me thinking thats all it has the crunch power to do?

Anybody with experience with these? or somthing better in this price bracket?

tks.

I would consider the TMDX5502EZDSP or the TMDX5509EZDSP. They cost under $100.

Don’t know what happened to TI’s website, I cannot open the webpage of those development tools.

Best regards,

Thanks John,

https://estore.ti.com/Search.aspx?detail=1&k=TMDX5505EZDSP

That looks like a nice board and the price is right..... I think its going to come down to which is easiest to program, who has the best demo code/docs and utilities. Sorting that might be a bit of a time suck...

hmmm...
