This chapter starts by introducing the need for an adaptive filter in communications. An explanation of the PC-DSP communication via the PCI bus is also provided. The accompanying CD includes all the programs used in this book. To help the reader in locating or viewing the files, an Index.htm file has been included. The files are in separate directories corresponding to each chapter.
Some directories are further divided in sub-directories to separate different implementations.
Batch files for compiling, assembling and linking these programs are included. Software using Code Composer Studio environment is also provided. Software updates including code running on the TMS320C6211 DSK can be obtained from the Publisher. However, with the first very encouraging comments from the five anonymous reviewers, my motivation for writing this book surged, and therefore I would like to thank them for their constructive comments. Due to the unfamiliarity with this processor, it was difficult to share ideas with other users.
