GEB1 - a robust DSP platform for audio and guitar signal processing in education

The development of a small, robust and cheap embedded hardware is presented, based on the TMS320C6722 signal processor. The system is tailored to the particular needs of audio and especially guitar effect processing, and is dedicated for educational use. The hardware realization, with focus on component selection, and the software framework are explained. To demonstrate the utility in education, we give examples of successfully implemented student works on our DSP platform.
