1.0 Overview of the TMS320F240 EVM
The TMS320F240 evaluation module(EVM) is a stand-alone card that lets evaluators
examine certain characteristics of the F240 digital signal processor(DSP) to determine
if this DSP meets their application requirements. Furthermore, the module is an
excellent platform to develop and run software on the F240 family of processors.
The F240 EVM is shipped with a TMS320F240 DSP however other family members
can be placed in the on board socket as they become available. The EVM allows full
speed verification of F240 code. With 544 words of onchip data memory, 128K words of
onboard memory, flash rom, on chip UART, on board UART, and an MP7680 Digital
to Analog Converter, the board can solve a variety of problems as shipped. Four
expansion connectors are provided to interface to any necessary evaluation circuitry
not provided on the as shipped configuration.
To simplify code develop and shorten debugging time a number of user interfaces are
available.
