We corresponded regularly while he was writing his book on the C6711 DSK and Rulph kindly included some of the program examples I had developed. I helped Rulph to present a workshop at the TI developer conference in 2002, and we maintained contact while he wrote the first edition of this book. I have used Rulph’s books, on the C31, C6711, and C6713 processors, for teaching both at Heriot-Watt (UK) and at Zhejiang (PRC) universities.
Rulph’s books are an extensive and valuable resource for teaching DSP hands-on in a laboratory setting. They contain a wealth of practical examples—programs that run on TI DSKs (nearly all in real-time) and illustrate vividly many key concepts in ...
