Comparison of DSP boards for classroom use

This paper provides a comparison for educators of three currently available DSP boards based on Texas Instruments processors: the C6713 DSK, the OMAP-L138 eXperimenter Kit, and the OMAP-L138 Low Cost Development Kit. Software migration issues, classroom use, and some little-known board-design ramifications for DSP are discussed.
