Delays and Echo: Using buffers to delay a signal up to 4 seconds to simulate echo from a valley / cavern.
Electronic Crossover: Dividing audio signal into bass and treble using Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters.

3. Introduction These include:
Guitar Effects: Changing sound of an electric guitar by adding reverberation, treble boost and distortion.
Guitar Tuner: Tuning the strings of an electric guitar using an adaptive filter. Display of accuracy of tuning on LEDs.
Playback and Record: Using buffers to record and playback sounds. Half speed and double speed playback. Introduces concepts of decimation and interpolation.
Reverberation: Simulation of reflections from walls to make a small room sound like an auditorium.

4. Introduction These include:

7. Overview
Combined signal acquisition/generation and USB interface card:
Data acquisition/generation via 1 audio CODEC, 2 ADCs and 2 DACs. (See Chapter 8 for applications).
PC interface to DSK via USB chipset.
USB chipset to DSP on DSK via EMIF.

8. Audio CODEC: CS4218 (see Chapter 8)
High quality stereo audio input and output.
Sampling rate of 48 kHz.
16 bit output (same resolution as audio CD).
Interface to DSP via serial ports.

9. ADCs and DACs: AD9220 and AD768
Two ADCs for digital to analogue conversion of high frequency signals.
Two DACs for arbitrary waveform generation of high frequency signals.
Interface between DSP and converters via DSP's EMIF.

10. USB Interface Chipset USB revision 1.1 full speed device.
16 bit interface to DSP via EMIF.
Data transfer rates between DSP and PC of up to 7M bits per second.
Internal FIFOs with programmable empty and full flags connected to DSP's timer input pins.

11. Using the Audio CODEC (1)
Set up transmit and receive serial ports' pins. Serial ports should be set up to use external frame synch and clock signals.
Rising edges are used to clock transmit/receive data and frame synchs are active high.

12. Using the Audio CODEC (2)
Set up the serial ports to use 32 bit words, the data are delayed by one clock edge, no companding is used.
The sample data are in the upper 16 bit words of each 32 bit word. The lower 16 bits are used for control information.

13. Using the DACs and ADCs (1)
The DACs and ADCs are connected to the DSP's EMIF.
DACs and ADCs can be accessed by reading from and writing to the DSP's CE3 memory space.

14. Using the DACs and ADCs (2)
A 32 bit read from the CE3 memory space reads packed data, two 16 bit words per 32 bit word. The ADCs have 12 bit resolution and should be converted to 2's complement signed values.
A 32 bit write to the CE3 memory space writes data to both DACs. The data are packed, two 16 bit words per 32 bit word. The DACs have 16 bit resolution.

15. Using the USB interface (1)
Using the USB interface from the PC requires software to communicate with the device driver.
The USB chipset is connected to the DSP via the EMIF.
The USB chip is mapped to the DSP's CE2 memory space.
The CE2 memory space should be set up using the following value for the CE2 control register: 0x7136C424.

16. Using the USB interface (2)
Reading and writing to USB accomplished by accessing CE2 memory space.
FIFO flags connected to DSP’s timer inputs provide information on USB chip’s FIFO status.
DSP should monitor FIFO flags to avoid under or overruns.

17. PC - USB daughter board communication
Communicating with the board from the PC requires code to interface to the USB device driver.
Lower level details of communicating with the device are handled by the device driver.
Code running on a built-in micro controller on the USB chip is used to move the data between the USB buffers and external port FIFOs.

18. PC - USB daughter board communication
Application: FFT processed on the DSK,
results sent to the PC via the USB interface
and the spectrum is display on the PC.
