Fast image processing application development scheme for the DSK C6711 using Matlab and Simulink

This paper presents a methodology to incorporate cutting edge technologies, Matlab/Simulink, Code Composer Study and DSK. The purpose of this methodology is to provide the instructors and students in DSP related courses an efficient method to develop and test DSP applications. The methodology involves the current and very important professional vision used in many companies, design-simulation-implementation. Therefore, the methodology also incorporates an added profit to the formation of our students. Another important benefit of this method is that it avoids low level hardware work that can be tedious and time consuming. This benefit improves the learning process because the students can concentrate on important aspects of the concept teaching in the course and not on implementation issues. The two applications presented in this paper prove the feasibility of this methodology.
