D.SignTs TCP/IP Stack, specifically optimized for DSP systems, now available for C6657 Processors

August 16, 2017

Optimised for DSP systems D.SignT developed its own TCP/IP network stack. For many years this stack has been used in several applications. This TCP/IP stack can operate as a background process using only the remaining processing time after all other tasks are completed, thereby not influencing the real-time performance of the DSP system. All functions are non-blocking and interruptible at any time. Resource consumption has been minimized, too.

D.SignT now also ported this network stack to the Texas Instruments Processor TMS320C6657. The D.SignT TCP/IP stack does not require an underlying … Read More → "D.SignTs TCP/IP Stack, specifically optimized for DSP systems, now available for C6657 Processors"
