Q3.2: Software for Motorola DSPs.

=======================================================================

Q3.2.1: Where can I get a free assembler for the Motorola DSP56000?

A free assembler for the Motorola DSP56000 exists, thanks to Quinn
Jensen, [e-mail].  The current version is 1.1, and
it is posted to alt.sources, so look for it on mirrors of that
newsgroup (like wuarchive.wustl.edu).

=======================================================================

Q3.2.2: Where can I get a free C compiler for the Motorola DSP56000?

There are two separate compiler sources for the Motorola DSP56000.  One
is the port of gcc 1.40 done by Andrew Sterian ([e-mail]) and
the other is a port of gcc 1.37.1 done by Motorola and returned to the
FSF.  Andrew's port has bowed to Motorola's version.  Both may be
portable to gcc2.x.x with some effort required.  Neither of these comes
with an assembler, but you can get a free DSP56000 assembler elsewhere
(see Q3.2.1 above).

The Motorola gcc source is available for FTP from:

    nic.funet.fi        ~pub/ham/dsp/dsp56k-tools/dsp56k-gcc.tar.Z
    evans.ee.adfa.oz.au    pub/micros/56k/g56k.tar.Z

From Andrew Sterian, [e-mail]:

My DSP56156 port is still the only DSP56156 compiler around and I have
just released an updated version of it.  Both this compiler and the
previous incarnation are archived on wuarchive.wustl.edu (in the
usenet/alt.sources directory) amongst other places.

=======================================================================

Q3.2.3: Where can I get algorithms and libraries for Motorola DSPs?
    What is the number for the Motorola DSP BBS?

Motorola runs "Dr. Bub", a bulletin board for DSPs containing source code
for various libraries and algorithms.  You can call it at [phone]
(9600, 4800, 2400, 1200 bps) or [phone] (2400/1200/300 bps).
Format is 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit).  Log in as "guest" to
browse the system, or you can open an account by entering "new" at the
account name prompt.  [John Fisher, [e-mail]]

Alternatively, Dr. BuB is mirrored on the following sites:

calvin.stanford.edu   (36.14.0.43)     in   /motorola
bode.ee.ualberta.ca   (129.128.16.96)  in   /pub/dos/motorola
nic.funet.fi          (128.214.6.100)  in   /pub/misc/motorola
doc.ic.ac.uk          (146.169.3.7)    in
/computing/systems/motorola/digital-signal-processing/dr.bub.sources

Also try nic.funet.fi in /pub/ham/dsp for a lot of good stuff on
communications uses, including some hardware.

ccrma-ftp.stanford.edu also has a variety of DSP code (much of it NeXT
specific, see below), including the following for the DSP56000:

pub/clm.tar.Z        "CLM", a package aimed mainly at composers doing
            computer music in Common Lisp, but includes a Lisp
            56000 assembler, debugger, loader, large libraries of
            DSP56000 routines useful in computer music, and
            a compiler from a subset of Common Lisp to
            DSP56000 code.  [[e-mail]]

=======================================================================

Q3.2.4: Where can I get NeXT-compatible Motorola DSP56001 code?

Try the following from ccrma-ftp.Stanford.EDU:

DSP programs for the NeXT platform:

pub/DSP/resample.tar.Z          Audio sampling-rate conversion and FIR
                filter design.
pub/DSP/ResoLab2.1.tar.Z        Interactive filter instrument; sources now
                included, online help.
pub/DSP/Spectro.Z               Spectrum analysis tool, with source code.
pub/DSP/WaveFormEditor.tar.Z    Jean Laroche's real-time waveform editor,
                with DAJ's additions.

DSP programming examples for the NeXT platform:

pub/DSP/dsp_dma_stream.tar.Z    Fast DSP DMA programming example (two-way DMA).
pub/DSP/JeanLaroche.tar.Z       Low-level sound and DSP programming examples
                and docs.

Q3.3: Software for Texas Instruments DSPs.

=======================================================================

Q3.3.1: Where can I get algorithms or libraries for TI DSPs?
        What is the number for the TI DSP BBS?

nic.funet.fi has some old, apparently public domain, assembler and
related tools from TI for the TMS320 family.  [Antti-Pekka Virtanen,
[e-mail]]

The TI DSP bulletin board is at [phone] (300, 1200, 2400, or 9600 bps;
8 data, 1 stop, no parity).

evans.ee.adfa.oz.au has a mirror of the TI DSP bulletin board in
"mirrors/tibbs".  See the "00README" file at the top of the
directory tree for info.  Please restrict FTP session to outside of
8 am to 6 pm local time (10 pm to 8 am GMT).  [Brad Hards,
[e-mail]]

{ If anyone knows of any other sources for TI DSP software, please let
us know at [e-mail].  Thanks! }

=======================================================================

Q3.3.2: Where can I get a free C compiler for the TI TMS320C30?

Sonitech (see vendors list) has a gcc based TMS320C30 C compiler
that was originally done Computer Motion.  Sonitech sells it
for $995, but under the terms of the Gnu Public License, other
people can then give it away.  While we haven't heard of any
ftp sites yet, there are bound to be some soon.

=======================================================================

Q3.4: Software for Analog Devices DSPs.

=======================================================================

Q3.4.1: Where can I get algorithms or libraries for Analog Devices DSPs?
        What is the number for the Analog Devices DSP BBS?

The number for the Analog Devices DSP BBS is [phone] (300, 1200,
2400, 9600, 14400 bps), 8N1.

[Greg Koker, [e-mail]]

{ If anyone knows of other sources for Analog Devices DSP software,
please let us know at [e-mail].  Thanks! }
