Next, get a simulator and assembler for the DSP processor you are going to use. In my humble opinion, the least expensive way to get into DSP is to use a PC clone (a real IBM PC/XT will do), run assembler and simulator on it and to build or buy the hardware with interface to the PC (either via Centronics interface or with bus interface). I prefer MOtorola 56001 because of its 24 wordlenght and Crystal A/D converters because of in-built anti-aliasing filter (ie. oversampling system). -- Sakari M.
