| MSP430 Teaching ROM |
Written by: Authors Pedro Dinis Gaspar, Antnio Esprito Santo, Bruno Ribeiro and Humberto Santos University of Beira Interior, Electromechanical Engineering Department, Portugal, 2009.
This CD-ROM has been created to provide the vital core materials to enable educators and academics to teach microcontrollers (MCUs), using devices from the Texas Instruments MSP430 family.
The materials include slides, labs, tests, programs and application examples, written in an academic style that is both interesting and technically detailed. In addition, the tutorials can be used as student guides to a series of modules and laboratory exercises.
Each module is dedicated to a specific aspect of the device, including detailed descriptions of how to use a range of peripherals. A step-by-step project guide to using different software development tools, with instructions on how to use the available hardware starter kits to perform the laboratory exercises, is also included.

| C2000 Teaching RM |
C2000™ Teaching ROM. The 3rd edition focuses on the TMS320F28335 (“DelfinoTM”) and TMS320F28027 (“PiccoloTM”) devices. The older revisions of the CDROM for TMS320F2812, TMS320LF2407 and TMS320F243 are also included in the archive on the ROM.
The "Zwickau Adaptor board" used in many of the 2812 experiments can be obtained from Systec. More details here.
This CD-ROM is designed to support teachers and professors teaching embedded control using the TI TMS320C2000 MCU platform. Written and designed by Frank Bormann of University of Applied Sciences Zwickau, Germany, this CD-ROM provides a series of 19 modules with teaching material for the current generation of 32-bit Texas Instruments real-time controllers.
The contents include presentation slides, a textbook with 750 pages, along with procedures and solutions for laboratory exercises, all presented in source-code form to allow flexibility of use. The laboratory exercises are based on the TMS320F28335 controlCARD, the Texas Instruments Peripheral Explorer Board and the C programming language. Some exercises, especially those for the enhanced Pulse Width Modulation Unit, are also available for the TMS320F28027 – Piccolo USBstick.
All exercises are provided in two versions to run under Code Composer Studio CCS3.3 or CCS4.1.
The Author Frank Bormann is a University Lecturer in Automotive Electronics, Real-Time- Control and Digital Signal Processing. His department at the Zwickau University is an internationally recognized centre for automotive data bus systems and electromagnetic compatibility. He became a certified instructor for Texas Instruments in 1998, and lectures the 4-day customer workshops for the TMSC2000-family in Europe. In April 2006 he was given TI's DSP Educators Award in recognition of his major contribution to technical education worldwide.

TMS320C5505 and TMS320C5515 USB Stick Teaching Materials
The twenty chapters provide an introduction to Digital Signal Processing (DSP) techniques including
FIR filters, IIR filters, LMS adaptive filters, Goertzel Algorithm, speech compression and wavelets. The material is aimed at the beginner to DSP or the enthusiast. Suitable for classroom use or self study.
The emphasis of the materials is hands-on practical experiments rather than pure theory. Complete working examples of C code are
provided for each chapter which run on the TSM320C5505 and TMS320C5515 USB Sticks. There is also a fun element to the experiments - you will be able to sound like an alien or play an electric
guitar with echo and phasing effects.
Each chapter contains a Powerpoint presentation to introduce the topic, block diagrams, some Matlab models and working C code. Self-test questions are provided to check on your progress.
All the additional equipment you need is a dynamic microphone and headphones. Also useful are an electic guitar or other musical
instrument and a digital frequency meter or oscilloscope.
The material does assume some basic knowledge of C programming to allow the code to be used modified by the student.

| C6000 Teaching ROM |
Written by: Jacob Fainguelernt of the Tel-Aviv University, Israel, recipient of the third TI DSP Educational Award.
The 3rd edition focuses on the TMS320C6748. The older revisions of the CDROM for TMS320C6416, TMS320C6713 and TMS320C6711 are also included in the archive on the ROM.
The material is organized in four parts. Each part contains a set of presentations covering the relevant topics and a set of examples applying the concepts introduced in those topics.
The first part, called Basic, introduces the development environment. It covers the component architecture, the hardware platform (OMAP L138 eXperimenters board), and software platform (Code Composer Studio 4). The examples show the basic features of CCS4 and of the board.
The second (Intermediate) part is based on DSP/BIOS. The use of the various DSP/BIOS threads is demonstrated together with the DSPLIB optimized library, Assembly (Introduction) and the EDMA3.
The third (Advanced) part introduces advanced development tools, the Peripheral Support Package (PSP), the Flash burning tools, the LCD daughterboard and the User Interface (UI) board. The PSP drivers are used to create a set of audio and video examples (based on the UI board). The last example in this part explains how to burn the flash memory on the board so as to create a standalone application.
CCS5 and CEz6Flo code generation tool are introduced in the last part (CCS5).'

| From MATLAB and SIMULINK to Real-time Using TI DSP Teaching ROM |
This teaching ROM focuses on work-flow and application-based teaching rather than individual DSP algorithms implementation. The materials complement the content found on other Texas Instruments Teaching ROMs. The idea is that you start from algorithm development and show how easily an idea is prototyped step-by-step, and then deployed on the hardware. The CD-ROM contains a suite of example applications in various fields such as Audio, Video, Imaging, Communications and Control. The basic examples enable students to experiment with real-time DSP applications, showing how to create prototypes using the Mathworks and Texas Instruments development tools (hardware and software). Advanced level examples are also included, where the basic tools are integrated with external dedicated hardware and/or software modules.
Platforms used: TMS320F2808 eZdsp Starter Kit (DSK), TMS320F2812 eZdsp Start Kit (DSK), TMS320C6713 DSP Starter Kit (DSK), TMS320C6416 DSP Starter Kit (DSK), DM6437 Digital Video Development Platform (DVDP).

| Analog Systems Lab Manual |
Although digital signal processing is the most common form of processing signals, analog signal processing cannot be completely avoided since the real world is analog in nature. The goal of the Analog System Lab Course is to provide students an exposure to the fascinating world of analog and mixed-signal signal processing. The course can be adapted for an undergraduate or a postgraduate curriculum. As part of the lab course, the student will build analog systems using analog ICs and study their macro models, characteristics and limitations. Our philosophy in designing this lab course
has been to focus on system design rather can circuit design.
