Motorola DSP Developer's Kit    

Using This Guide

Expected Background

You are expected to be familiar with MATLAB and Simulink to use the basic features of the toolboxes and blocksets supplied with the Motorola DSP Developer's Kit. To take advantage of the advanced features of the Motorola DSP Developer's Kit as a powerful development tool, some knowledge of DSP devices and assembly and/or C coding is essential.

Organization of the Document

Use this guide in conjunction with the templates and software to learn about the features of the Motorola DSP Developer's Kit.

Chapter 1, Introduction to the Motorola DSP Developer's Kit, provides a brief introduction to the Motorola DSP Developer's Kit describing the key features. It also describes the build process in detail, and shows you how to get started with the Motorola DSP Developer's Kit using a basic example.

Chapter 2, Creating Motorola DSP MEX-Files, describes in detail how to write your own MATLAB MEX-file or Simulink S-function based on the templates provided. It also provides a step-by-step tutorial of advanced features, which shows you how to run MEX-files in INTERACTIVE mode in order to launch the Suite56 Simulators' graphical user interface (GUI).

Chapter 3, Motorola DSP MEX-File Programming Reference, is a quick reference of available programming functions to assist you in writing your Motorola DSP Developer's Kit MEX-files or Simulink S-functions.

Chapter 4, Motorola Toolbox Function Reference, contains information about all of the toolbox functions provided by the Motorola DSP Developer's Kit. This information allows you to incorporate these functions into one of your own existing system designs or to use them effectively, as supplied, to create new systems based on Motorola DSP devices.

Chapter 5, Motorola Blockset Block Reference, describes the Motorola DSP Developer's Kit Blockset blocks. It also details the dialog box parameter options for each block.

The Appendix lists the directory structure and the files shipped with the Motorola DSP Developer's Kit.
