Motorla DSP Evaluation boards
Hi mImoto
I am working with Motorola DSP 56F805 at the University, so I do not know the exact price of the evaluation board. Here in Argentina you can find the EVM for U$S400 (I think).
You have to know what kind of application it will work in, to buy the right one. This is VERY important.
For example, the DSP I am using is for motor control, but the 56F82X is oriented to communications or general purpose applications.
On the other hand, there is the software that comes with the Evaluation Board. CodeWarrior is very good but is really hard to understand.
I do not know its price, but it helps a lot because of the APIs in it.
I do not know any other DSPs, but Motorola's are good enough for me.
It is helpful to have some collegue who works with the one you would want to buy, so you will avoid several problems.
I hope it helps.
