Product Description

The DSPMUL coprocessor board features multiple Agere DSP32C chips each of which offers 50 MHz, 25 Mflop floating point power with 24 bit address and 32 bit data buses for speed and accuracy.

The DSPMUL uses a 16 bit ISA bus interface to the DSP32C PIO that allows all of the on board memory to be accessed by the PC while the DSP32C is executing. CPU selection is under program control. The DSPMUL can be populated with up to 4 CPUs and 1 MB of SRAM memory per CPU. It includes a high speed serial interface for each CPU. The serial interfaces are not plain RS232, but are instead high speed serial connections to the DSP32C for interfacing with codecs and other serial I/O devices. A complete software package is also included so you have everything you need to begin developing applications immediately.

All the software you need to develop stand alone or integrated PC DSP32C applications comes with the board. This software includes an assembler, full screen symbolic monitor/debugger, C callable math library, and many graded examples to help you get started. Source code for the entire system is included and provides a base for developing custom applications. The PDF user manual includes circuit diagrams.
