Code Development Tools

EVA50C605 (see the following note)

Same as SPEECH-EVM.

Note:

The SPEECH-EVM and EVA50C605 have similar functionality. They both
function as basic target boards that support code development. One of the
differences is that the SPEECH-EVM has a battery holder, and the
EVA50C605 does not. The SPEECH-EVM also has the hardware circuits to
drive an 8-

Ω

speaker using the LM386 or H-bridge option. However, the

EVA50C605 can only be used with a 32-

Ω

speaker (direct drive).

SDS-6000

The hardware works with SDS6000 software to allow speech editing as
well as verification of speech quality through a MSP50x6xx device. It
connects to a PC through a parallel port.

Software Tools Definitions

MSP50C6xx code development software (EMUC6xx)

The PC based software is used for MSP50C6xx code development and
requires Microsoft Windows 95



or 98



operating systems. It is one part

of the MSP50C6xx code development tools, along with the MSP scanport
interface, and the MSP50C6xx device on an application board.

TITALKS.zip (formerly known as FIXEDxx.zip)

This contains the latest version of TI compression algorithms. The file
TITALKS.ZIP contains the base code for the MSP50C6xx, which includes
all the TI coders (MELP, CELP, LPC, and ADPCM). There are some
sample codes for LCD drivers, timer 1, and timer 2 interrupts etc. This
software provides a good starting point for the customer to develop the
code for MSP50C6xx devices. Examples of RAM overlay methods have
been included for the customers’ benefit.

SDS6000

This software is used for speech editing and is designed to be used with
the SDS-6000 hardware.

Note:

Please contact TI Speech Applications Group (email:
[email protected] for the latest version of the software.
