DSK PROGRAMMING ASSIGNMENTS
This page contains a summary of the resources available for the DSP chip programming assignments, as well as a list of the assignments. Please refer to the textbook:

• R. Chassaing, et al, Digital Signal Processsing: Laboratory Experiments Using C and the TMS320C31 DSK, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., ISBN 0471293628, 1999.

for further details.

Submitting your solutions for grading involves the following:

• make an appointment with the laboratory teaching assistant;
  
  
• demonstrate that your code performs the functions requested in the assignment;
  
  
• answer a few impromptu questions about the assignment.
  
  

The laboratory teaching assistnant will grade your projects on a scale of 0 to 10 based on the quality of demonstrations and explanations.
