Software for Digital Signal Processors (DSPs)

North Star has experience with several digital signal processors (DSPs) used primarily for real-time, algorithm-intensive applications such as image processing and servo control.  North Star also designs the electronic hardware around these DSPs.

Our software development experience with digital signal processors includes:

• boot code

• assembly language programming

• C high-level language programming

• image processing algorithms

• servo controls algorithms

• complex state machines

• control of peripheral devices, serial ports, A/D and D/A converters

• internal and external non-volatile memory for program code and data

• direct memory access  (DMA) controllers

• interrupts service routines

• control of servo valves

• control of relays

• control of LEDs

• serial communications

• user-programmability

• user help menus

North Star uses TI's Code Composer Studio software development tools for designing code for the TMS series of DSPs, and Metrowerks' CodeWarrior for the Motorola line of DSPs.  Let us help you design your software.  Contact North Star.
