2.6 Host Communication
There are two ways to connect a host system (DSP/microprocessor):
- Texas Instruments’ new DSKs provide two dedicated 80-pin connectors.
The EVM can be plugged directly onto these DSKs. This connector
standard is referred to as the common connector.
- Legacy DSKs not equipped with the 80-pin common connectors will
communicate via the daisy-chained legacy header.
The following sections discuss each connection method.
