ABSTRACT Signal processing concepts are often presented in a very mathematical and abstract format. This can discourage students from further exploration because of the apparent irrelevance to real world problems. A common solution is to provide a hands-on laboratory to illustrate applications of abstract concepts. However, hardware-based digital signal processing (DSP) laboratories-which are typically incorporated into senior-level signal processing courses – usually emphasize programming the DSP chip rather than exploring algorithms and applications. This paper is an report on the familiarization process of the TMS320C6713 and the implementation of digital signal processing projects. The Texas Instruments C6713 DSK platform, which can be programmed using SIMULINK (The Mathworks, Inc.). This gives us added advantage of easily writing codes on Code Composer Studio and implementing it on the DSP Processors. DSP has become a key component, in many of the consumer, communications, medical and industrial products which implement the signal processing using microprocessors, Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), Custom ICs etc. Due to increasing popularity of the above mentioned applications, the variety of the DSP-capable processors has expanded greatly. DSPs are processors or microcomputers whose hardware,software and instruction sets are optimized for high-speed numeric processing applications, an essential for processing digital data, representing analog signals in real time. The DSP processors have gained increased popularity because of the various advantages like reprogram ability in the field, cost-effectiveness, speed, energy efficiency etc.
