Trimming development chores down from hours to minutes, the Texas Instruments C6EZRun and C6EZAccel software tools enable ARM and Linux system developers to tap the real-time processing power of the TMS320C6000 digital-signal processor (DSP). With C6EZRun, users can port existing ARM apps to run on the DSP without changing ARM code or learning DSP architectures. Partitioning code between the DSP and the ARM cores offloads the ARM, allowing the DSP to efficiently process signal-intensive algorithms.

For those needing to leverage ready-to-use DSP software, C6EZAccel provides a framework to more than 130 optimized DSP kernels, allowing them to add DSP functionality with Texas Instruments’ video, audio, and voice codecs. Both tools are viable for adding DSP functionality such as digital room correction capabilities to an audio system, people-counting capabilities to a video system, and/or power measurement and analysis to a power metering system.

Free of charge, C6EZRun and C6EZAccel software tools are available now for download at, respectively, www.ti.com/c6run-prtf and www.ti.com/c6accel-prtf.
