Texas Instruments C614 Synthesis Code

6-13

Applications

These files may be edited for special purpose code

INIT.ASM and SPEAK.ASM

These files should never be edited

SLEEP.ASM, RAM.IRX and SPK_RAM.IRX

A good rule of thumb to follow is that files under the DSP directory should be
left alone, and all custom code should be added either to

MAIN.ASM

or to a

new directory under

MODULES

, e.g.,

MODULES\CUSTCODE

.

Creating a New Project

The easiest way to create a new project is to copy the entire MELP1 directory
into another directory. Rename the project file as desired, eg

NEWPROJ.RPJ

.

It is not necessary to change the paths of the files in the project – this will be
done automatically by the code development tool.

6.3.1

Memory Overlay

C614 release code uses memory overlay to accommodate multiple synthesis
algorithms. If the user is interested in using the data memory, the starting
memory location has to start from the last memory location used by the
program + 2. The synthesis code has a file named

MAIN_RAM.IRX

. This file

is provided for maintaining overlay. New variables are added as follows:

; bytes

byte1

equ

RAMSTART_CUSTOMER + 1

byte2

equ

byte1 + 1

; words

word1

equ

byte2 + 2 * 1

word2

equ

word1 + 2 * 1

; byte arrays

array1

equ

word2 + 10

; word arrays

array2

equ

array1 + 2 * 4

; End of RAM

RAMEND_CUSTOMER

equ

array2

RAMLENGTH_CUSTOMER

equ

RAMEND_CUSTOMER –
RAMSTART_CUSTOMER

Two byte variables, two word variables and two arrays are assigned storage
space in realtion to the previous variable. The last two rows must be present
and the constant RAMEND_CUSTOMER should equate to the name of the
last used variable in the list. Note that the C614 RAM is always accessed as
byte, therefore 1 word memory location is equal to 2 bytes. Hence the
multiplication by 2.
