dsp56k(4)

NAME

   dsp56k - DSP56001 interface device

SYNOPSIS

   #include <asm/dsp56k.h>

   ssize_t read(int fd, void *data, size_t length);
   ssize_t write(int fd, void *data, size_t length);

   int ioctl(int fd, DSP56K_UPLOAD, struct dsp56k_upload *program);
   int ioctl(int fd, DSP56K_SET_TX_WSIZE, int wsize);
   int ioctl(int fd, DSP56K_SET_RX_WSIZE, int wsize);
   int ioctl(int fd, DSP56K_HOST_FLAGS, struct dsp56k_host_flags *flags);
   int ioctl(int fd, DSP56K_HOST_CMD, int cmd);

CONFIGURATION

   The  dsp56k device is a character device with major number 55 and minor
   number 0.

DESCRIPTION

   The Motorola DSP56001 is a fully  programmable  24-bit  digital  signal
   processor  found  in  Atari Falcon030-compatible computers.  The dsp56k
   special file is used to control the DSP56001, and to send  and  receive
   data using the bidirectional handshaked host port.

   To  send  a  data  stream  to the signal processor, use write(2) to the
   device, and read(2) to receive processed data.  The data can be sent or
   received  in 8, 16, 24, or 32-bit quantities on the host side, but will
   always be seen as 24-bit quantities in the DSP56001.

   The following ioctl(2) calls are used to control the dsp56k device:

   DSP56K_UPLOAD
          resets the DSP56001 and uploads a program.  The  third  ioctl(2)
          argument  must  be  a  pointer  to  a  struct dsp56k_binary with
          members bin pointing to a DSP56001 binary program, and  len  set
          to the length of the program, counted in 24-bit words.

   DSP56K_SET_TX_WSIZE
          sets  the transmit word size.  Allowed values are in the range 1
          to 4, and is the number of bytes that will be sent at a time  to
          the  DSP56001.  These data quantities will either be padded with
          zero bytes, or truncated to fit the native 24-bit data format of
          the DSP56001.

   DSP56K_SET_RX_WSIZE
          sets  the  receive word size.  Allowed values are in the range 1
          to 4, and is the number of bytes that will be received at a time
          from the DSP56001.  These data quantities will either truncated,
          or padded with a null byte ('\0') to fit the native 24-bit  data
          format of the DSP56001.

   DSP56K_HOST_FLAGS
          read and write the host flags.  The host flags are four general-
          purpose bits that can be read by both the hosting  computer  and
          the DSP56001.  Bits 0 and 1 can be written by the host, and bits
          2 and 3 can be written by the DSP56001.

          To access the host flags, the third ioctl(2) argument must be  a
          pointer  to a struct dsp56k_host_flags.  If bit 0 or 1 is set in
          the dir member, the corresponding bit in out will be written  to
          the host flags.  The state of all host flags will be returned in
          the lower four bits of the status member.

   DSP56K_HOST_CMD
          sends a host command.  Allowed values are in the range 0 to  31,
          and  is a user-defined command handled by the program running in
          the DSP56001.

Opportunity

Personal Opportunity - Free software gives you access to billions of dollars of software at no cost. Use this software for your business, personal use or to develop a profitable skill. Access to source code provides access to a level of capabilities/information that companies protect though copyrights. Open source is a core component of the Internet and it is available to you. Leverage the billions of dollars in resources and capabilities to build a career, establish a business or change the world. The potential is endless for those who understand the opportunity.

Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.

Free Software

Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.

Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.

Free Books

The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.

Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.

Education

Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.

Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
