TI TMS320VC5505 recipients

Hi Alistair,

Because there are some people late to attend to the event and not be able to attend due to the event has already closed, a new event seems the best solution.

In the meantime, if you decide to run a new event then i will not attend to that event. If you decide to choose the last user randomizely then be sure that that user is not me because i already have a TI TMS320VC5505 based evaluation kit. I had it later the original event.

Firat,

I would "disqualify" previous recipients. I could run a test for one kit, but I thought we could have a little more fun, maybe a quick competition, a poll or something just a little different from usual. My idea would be to have applicants post a quick summary of what they'd use the kit for, and then run a group members poll of which idea they'd like to see in practice. I'm not sure how practical it would be to implement

If there is no idea that people agree on I will just run a two day test,

Ally

I was thinking you should run a little puzzle, maybe something like the ones in Breaktime first right answer wins the kit, seems equitable and a bit more fun than just logging in to attend an event. I then realised however that RoadTest has members from all around the world, so people might not get an equal chance to compete (i.e. it might be the middle of the night for some when you post the question.

If you can figure out a fair time to post a question though and pre-announce the time it going to go live, I think that could be a bit of fun, a cerebral sprint race.

Otherwise I'd suggest taking the original non winning entrants + any new entrants and randomly select a reviewer to receive the kit.

Alistair,

You are right. I'd like your idea and i think the other members either.

Cheers,

I just recieved my TI TMS320..... today.

The box contained a dvdrom, installation leaflet and a pcbboard.

I will see if I can get the time to install and try it out next week.

Hello,

any idea how the last kit will be drawn ?

Hi Allistair,

i think about 2 application for this kit:

- Do some audio analysis in real time with dsp (FFT, vocoding, sound compression...) and get data back to PC through USB

- for some time I wanted to do a small scope system, close to the first application but with some more features...

A small DSP with a USB link offers many opportunity to do some small projects and discover deeply DSP world

Hi Alistair,

Do we have to list our (the interested parties for the 10th kit) plans for board usage as part of the test?

Xavier,

Sounds really interesting.

Bogdan,

It won't affect any decisions, I was just interested myself. What would you do with the kit?
