The MityDSP is a highly configurable, very small form-factor processor card that features a Texas Instruments TMS320C6711 200 MHz Digital Signal Processor (DSP) tightly integrated with a Xilinx XC3S400 Spartan Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), FLASH and SDRAM memory subsystems. Both the DSP and the FGPA are capable of loading/executing programs and logic images developed by end users. The MityDSP provides a complete digital processing infrastructure necessary for embedded applications development.
Users of the MityDSP are encouraged to develop applications and FPGA firmware using
the MityDSP hardware and software development kit provided by Critical Link LLC.
The development kit includes API libraries compatible with the TI Code Composer
Studio compiler as well as FPGA netlist components compatible with the Xilinx ISE
FPGA synthesis tool. The libraries provide the necessary functions needed to configure
the MityDSP, program standalone MityDSP embedded applications, and interface with
the various hardware components on the board.
In addition, the libraries include several interface “cores” – FPGA and DSP software modules designed to interface with various data converter modules (ADCs, DACs, LCD interfaces, etc) – as well as bootloading and FLASH programming utilities.
The primary interface to the MityDSP is through a standard SO-DIMM card edge interface. The interface provides power, DSP emulator, FPGA JTAG, synchronous serial connectivity, and up to 100 pins of configurable FPGA I/O for application defined interfacing. Details of the SO-DIMM connector interface are included in the SO-DIMM Interface Description contained within the product data sheet.
