Hi Dave,

I'm starting in DSP, too.

I have been looking at many options, and found that Analog Devices seems to
be the one. It offers lots of AN's for beginners, the assembler is *very*
simple, and the development kit for the ADSP2189 costs only US$ 130
(EZ-Lite kit). About the soft, in the kit is included an evaluation version.

The ADSP2189 is a 16-bit, fixed-point DSP, that's good for normal audio
applications. (12 bit usually is enough, and You'll need some bits more for
considering math errors).

Take a look at Analog's web page. Some months ago they offered a free book:
''The scientist & engineer's guide to DSP'', just a very first approach, not
math formal at all.


Best Regards,

S.-

| Hi,
| Can anyone recommend a good (but easy) way to get
| started with DSP chips? Maybe from a manufacturer
| that has free development tools like Microchip does?
| I want to do audio functions. Is 16 bit enough?
