Download Reference Design



The EMIF co-processor reference design demonstrates the use of an Altera® FPGA as a high-performance digital signal processing (DSP) co-processor to the Texas Instruments TMS320C6000 family of programmable digital signal processors. The hardware interface is a connection between the TI digital signal processor’s external memory interface (EMIF) and the first-in first-out (FIFO) buffers on the FPGA. The reference design utilizes TI’s TMS320C6416 DSP Starter Kit (DSK), which features a TI TMS320C6416 device and the Altera Stratix® II DSP development board, which features an EP2S60F1020C4 FPGA. The reference design is supplied with Verilog HDL and TI DSP source code. Altera also supplies example software to demonstrate the use of the reference design.

Demonstrated Altera Technology

The EMIF co-processor reference design demonstrates the following Altera technology:
