C40

C40 hardware (short for TMS320C40) is one of a family of DSP chips available from Texas Instruments. It is a fairly mature product line with a considerable number of third party vendors.

For the PennEyes system we (U. Pennsylvania) have acquired several of the C40-based boards to fulfill our visual servoing needs: 1 TIM-40 CFG-RGB, an RGB video framegrabber module with a reconfigurable 1 Mbyte framestore and the ability to read RGB pixels at 20 M pixels/second; 2 VIPTIM convolver boards that can accomplish a reconfigurable 42 point convolution at 12.5 M pixels/second; and an HESB40 SBus interface.
