This text has been carefully designed to serve several purposes. Firstly it acts as an excellent educational aid for both students and lecturers. It contains all the necessary theory to get to grips with the C6000 series and several examples to allow readers to test and implement common algorithms using the knowledge gained. (Examples include: FIR, IIR and adaptive (LMS) filters, Goertzel algorithms and DCT for JPEG)

It is also a very useful reference for DSP users with some experience as the example applications included can be used to provide a basis from which to build their own specialist applications.

The structure makes it easy to follow and refer back to. The nature of the structure lends itself to easily supporting DSP courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.

A definite "must" for all prospective and current C6000 users.

I never post any comments on Amazon.com before but after reading this book, I have to get my feeling out to you.

We have many books in the title 'Learning ... in 21 days'. This book in other way was written in 21 days. CD Rom softwares were badly and unprofessionally prepared. Program names do not match with the book and on the CDROM. Apart from some of the algorithms introduction (which earned one star), the review of the CPU or the EVM board is a cut down version of the EVM board Reference Guide. Some of the codes' quality definitely not 5 stars or 1st class. And if you think this book is thin and think again, that 25% of the book are list of programs. The book is 220 pages that means you are getting a book of 150 pages to tell you how to program DSP on TMS320C6000x. That left you thinking this is part I of 5 parts book. One good thing is the included software using the evm6x.dll to run some simple windows control program to pass data to dsp (on EVM board if you have the board) to do DCT and display the image on windows. But the example is so simple that, you and me can do it in two days.

I personally think this book should not even have passed the first draft standard for publishing. Never mind, people who bought this book Will be disappointed. Thank god, I borrowed it from library.

This book has limited, but good contents. Like other tech books, number of pages is boosted slightly by listing codes. There are many small errors like wrong subscripts and sign errors in equations, which will not affect understanding of the concept. It is the best buy, if you must buy one on TI DSP. This book alone is still not enough to start serious work, but it has enough details to clarify everything and it is well written enough for leisure reading. I hope the 6211 codes can appear on the web site soon.

For the classroom, this is an ideal way to teach the TMS320C6000 DSP platform. With its lab examples and common DSP operations, it is a great resource.

This is to inform you that the book is NOT out-of-print (Please check with Prentice Hall)
