1.0 Requirements
DSK-MODEM is part of PCTOR and provides support implementing DSP code
on a TI 320C26 DSK target. In its simplest form, the supplied DSP modems
will work on an unmodified DSK unit. It is, however recommended to add
the included interface circuit for effective tuning display and full
transmit capabilities.
PCTOR version 3.05c or higher is required. Please contact the
author if operation with other software tnc's is required.
If this program is to be used with PCTOR, please include the
following two lines to the "TOR.CNF" file.
dskmdm:2 .... this will indicate that a DSK is attached
dskbaud:1 ... this will determine the baudrate that the DSK will use
1 = 115200
2 = 115200/2
3 = 115200/3 etc.
The first line tells PCTOR that support for the DSK is requested.
PCTOR version 3.05c and higher will automatically download the
appropriate modem as the operating mode changes. The user, however,
may still manually select any modem using the ALT-M key.
1. DSP modem background
The TI 320C26 digital signal processor starter's kit (DSK) is
used as a platform for implementing a number of DSP modems. For
those not too familiar with this little unit, the DSK is a 2" x
3" PCB containing a 40MHz DSP and associated circuitry. The DSK
module is available from TI distributors as part no. TMDS3200026,
and costs only $99. Please note that the schematic for a simple
interface containing a tuning display and PTT driver is included
as a separate plot file in this package.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Soldering on the DSK PCB will void your
warrantee. The author is not liable in any way for damages that
may result in such modifications. Also please note that there is
a minor hardware fault on the DSK PCB. A simple fix for this
fault is described in the TI DSK newsletter. The fault amounts to
a missing trace that connects a resistor SIP package to VCC.
Without this trace, external interfaces will not work properly.
The DSK connects to a PC computer's COM port and communicates
with the PC at rates up to 115200 baud. DSK-MODEM contains all the code
necessary to communicate with the DSK. Once a particular modem is
selected, DSP code is downloaded silently to the DSK's on-chip
memory. This operation only takes a second or so to complete. The
DSP then performs all signal processing operations in real time
using its 10 MIPS engine. The resulting output from the DSP is a
stream of data bits that is sent to the PC for further processing
by programs such as PCTOR or PC-PACTOR.
In addition to the RS 232 connection, an audio signal from your
transceiver is fed to the DSK's analog to digital convertor. If
PCTOR is to be used to transmit data over the air, additional
wiring to the transceiver PTT and FSK control is also required.
All the DSP modems used in this package uses non-coherent
detection principles to recover digital signals. The operation
may be summarized as follows:
The audio signal is first digitized by an A/D convertor and then
applied to two parallel discriminator filters. The envelopes of
the outputs of the discriminator filters rectified and then
low-pass filtered. The output of the low pass filter are
thresholded and the corresponding 0/1 output applied to the TxD
serial line (the FLAG output of the 320C26). In addition, the
output of the low pass filter is written to a D/A convertor. This
signal is useful as a tuning aid when an oscilloscope is used.
Just tune for maximum positive to negative transitions.
2. RS232 Connections
For a minimal interface, Rd, Td, DTR, RTS, DCD, and Ground, is
required. This will allow operation on RTTY and AMTOR.
For a 25-pin serial connector:
pin 2 (TD) - output data bits (mark -12V, space +12V)
pin 3 (RD) - input data (also connected to pin 8 (DCD))
pin 4 (RTS) - PTT (off -12V, on +12V)
pin 8 (DCD) - input data bits (mark -12V, space +12V)
pin 7 (Ground)
For a 9-pin serial connector:
pin 3 (TD) - output data bits (mark -12V, space +12V)
pin 2 (RD) - input data (also connected to pin 1 (DCD))
pin 7 (RTS) - PTT (off -12V, on +12V)
pin 1 (DCD) - input data bits (mark -12V, space +12V)
pin 5 (Ground)
If this program is to be used with the popular BAYCOM packet
program, an additional wire link between RD and CTS is needed.
3.0 Special modems
Five modems are provided for usage on RTTY, AMTOR, PacTOR, and HF
Packet. The main features are summarized in the following table
