An elegant method for designing a time-discrete solution for realization of a spectral window which is ideal from an energy concentration viewpoint. This window is one that concentrates the maximum amount of energy in a specified bandwidth and hence provides optimal spectral resolution. Unlike the Kaiser window, this window is a discrete-time realization having the same objectives as the continuous-time prolate spheroidal function; at the expense of not having a closed form solution.

The packages listed below are mostly for general purpose DSP, that is, DSP that is not specific to a particular programmable DSP chip. See the later sections in the FAQ for software relevant to a particular programmable DSP chip. According to Brian Evans: "There was an entire session on this subject [free DSP software] at ICASSP '92, chaired by Dr. Sally Wood and Dr. James McClellan. It appears in Volume 4 of the Proceedings, pages 73-112. There will be another such session at ICASSP '93." [Brian Evans, evans@eedsp.gatech.edu] Much of the information below is from Brian's mail. -------------------------------------------------- Q1.2.1: What is Gabriel? Where can I get it? Package: Gabriel Description: Gabriel was a hierarchical block diagram environment for prototyping signal processing systems on single or multiple processors. It has been superceded by Ptolemy (see below), and is no longer available. -------------------------------------------------- Q1.2.2: What is Ptolemy? Where can I get it? Package: Ptolemy Description: Ptolemy provides a highly flexible foundation for the specification, simulation, and rapid prototyping of systems. It is an object oriented framework within which diverse models of computation can co-exist and interact. For example, using Ptolemy a data-flow system can be easily connected to a hardware simulator which in turn may be connected to a discrete-event system, etc. Because of this, Ptolemy can be used to model entire systems. In addition, Ptolemy now has code generation capabilities. From a flow graph description, Ptolemy can generate both C code and DSP assembly code for rapid prototyping. Note that code generation is not yet complete, and is included in the current release for demonstration purposes only. Ptolemy has been used for a broad range of applications including signal processing, telecomunications, parallel processing, wireless communications, network design, radio astronomy, real-time systems, and hardware/software co-design. Ptolemy has also been used as a lab for signal processing and communications courses. Currently Ptolemy has hundreds of users in over 100 sites, both in industry and academia. Ptolemy is available for the Sun 4 (sparc), DecStation (MIPS), and HP (HP-PA) architectures. Installing the system requires 49 Mbytes for Ptolemy (64 Mbytes after you optionally rebuild) and 16 Mbytes for the Gnu tools subset. At least 8 Mbytes of physical memory are required. Ptolemy has been developed at UC Berkeley over the past 3 years. Further information, including papers and the complete release notes, is available from the FTP site. A license is no longer required to receive Ptolemy. The source code, binaries, and documentation are available by anonymous ftp from ptolemy.berkeley.edu Ftp to "ptolemy.bekeley.edu", login as "anonymous", cd "pub", get README Contact: Alan Kamas, aok@ohm.berkeley.edu. -------------------------------------------------- Q1.2.3: What is Khoros?

FOR STUDENTS: Prentice Hall has published a student edition of matlab which contains a book and set of disks for PCs and Macs. The software is limited only in matrix size (32 x 32 matrix; 1024 elements) and in its ability to import or call C or Fortran subroutines. On the plus side, it is able to run without a coprocessor (it will use one if it is present) and it includes a subset of the Signal Processing and Controls Toolboxes, The Signals and Systems Toolbox, which provides for added functionality. Book only (about US$30): ISBN = 0138560064; Book + disk: (about US$50 ISBN=0-13-855974-0 for 3.5" or ISBN=0-13-855982-1 for 5.25 Macintosh version: ISBN=0-13-855990-2. There will be related books out by mid to late 1993 : Computer Aided Signal Processing with MATLAB, by Burrus, Oppenheim, McClellan, Parks, Schafer, and Schussler; and Signal Processing : A Computer Approach, by Etter. More books in this MATLAB Curriculum Series are planned. For general info: matlab@prenhall.com [From the Matlab Users Group (Editor, hwilson@ua1vm.ua.edu)] -------------------------------------------------- Q1.2.6: What are the Signal Processing Packages for Mathematica? Where can I get them? Package: Signal Processing Pacakages (SPP) and Notebooks. Description: Public domain extensions to Mathematica. Enables the symbolic manipulation of signal processing expressions: 1-D discrete/continuous convolutions and 1-D/m-D linear transforms (Laplace, Fourier, z, DTFT, and DFT). For linear transforms, you can specify your own transform pairs and see the intermediate computations. Great for showing students how to take transforms, or for deriving input-output relationships in a transform domain. Additional abilities include analog filter design, solving DE's using transforms, converting signal processing expressions to their equivalent TeX forms, and number theoretic operations (Bezout numbers, Smith Form decompositions, and matrix factors). Accompanying SPP are tutorial notebooks on analog filter design, Fourier analysis, piecewise convolution, and the z-transform (includes a discussion of fundamentals of digital filter design). These Notebooks illustrate difficult concepts (such as the flip-and-slide view of convolution) through animation. A Notebook reader is available in the public domain for Macintosh computers (a BinHexed version is on the ftp site). FOR STUDENTS: A student version of Mathematica is available for $175. The price includes a copy of the reference manual. The only drawbacks to the student version are that the floating point coprocessor is dis- abled and that upgrades cannot be ordered. Contact: Brian Evans, evans@eedsp.gatech.edu. To obtain: anonymous ftp to gauss.eedsp.gatech.edu (130.207.226.24). (available in UNIX, Mac, and MS-DOS archive formats). -------------------------------------------------- Q1.2.7: What is the Control Systems Analysis Packages for Mathematica? Where can I get them? Package: Control Systems Analysis Package (COSYPAK) and Notebooks Description: Public domain extension to Mathematica. Classical and state-space control analysis and design methods. The Notebooks supplement the material in the textbook "Modern Controls Theory" by Ogata. Largely based on the Signal Processing Packages (SPP, see above).

Where can I get it? Package: Linear systems toolbox for Maple. Description: Public domain extension to Maple. Contact: Tony Richardson, amr@mpl.ucsd.edu. To obtain: anonymous ftp to ftp.egr.duke.edu file pub/maple/linsys1.2.tar.Z. -------------------------------------------------- Q1.2.10: Where can I get text to speech conversion software? Free (but not public domain) text to speech conversion software is available via anonymous ftp from wilma.cs.brown.edu in the pub directory as speak.tar.Z. It will compile and run on a SPARC's built-in audio after modifying speak.c with the path of your libaudio.h (e.g., /usr/demo/SOUND/libaudio.h). It's a simple phoneme concatenation system with commensurate synthesized speech quality (a directory of phoneme audio files is included). [Joe Campbell, jpcampb@afterlife.ncsc.mil] -------------------------------------------------- Q1.2.11: Where can I get filter design software? There are filter design programs available via anonymous FTP. The following are summarized here and discussed in greater detail below: 1. August 1992 IEEE Trans. on Signal Processing: METEOR FIR filter design program. 2. DFIR FIR filter design program. 3. Netlib IIR filter design. 4. IEEE Press "Programs for Digital Signal Processing". ----- The August 92 issue of IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing there is a paper entitled "METEOR: A Constraint-Based FIR Filter Design Program" by Kenneth Steiglitz, Thomas W. Parks and James F. Kaiser. They describe an FIR design program which allows specification of the target frequency response characteristics in a fairly generalised and flexible way. As well as designing filters, the program can optimise filter lengths and push band limits. The paper contains a footnote which says "Pascal and C versions of source code are available to anonymous ftp at princeton.edu in the directory /pub as meteor.p, form.p, meteor.c and form.c". True, they are. They appear to work. The Pascal versions have been put through p2c to get the C versions; all the needed Pascal library stuff is included in the C versions and they built error-free out of the box for me on an SGI machine. One catch is, there is no manual - you need the paper to know how to drive the programs. [Steve Clift, clift@ml.csiro.au] ----- Another public domain filter design package is DFIR, for FIR filter designs. It includes design capabilities for: equiripple linear phase multiband filters, linear phase differentiators, linear phase Hilbert transform filters, MMSE interpolating filters and equiripple Nyquist filters. It is written in Fortran 77 and has been tested on DECStations and Suns. It is available via anonymous ftp from aldebaran.ee.mcgill.ca in "pub/dfir". Additionally, a package to plot filter responses is available in "pltfilter-V2R0.tar.Z". [Peter Kabal, via Witold Waldman] ----- Another source is netlib: "A free program to design IIR Butterworth, Chebyshev, and Cauer (elliptic) filters, in any of lowpass, bandpass, band reject, and high pass configurations, is available in netlib (e.g. research.att.com) as the file netlib/cephes/ellf.shar.Z. By email to netlib@research.att.com the request message text is `send ellf from cephes' [Stephen Moshier, mosher@world.std.com] ----- The Fortran source code from the IEEE Press book "Programs For Digital Signal Processing" is available for anonymous ftp from nimios.eng.mcmaster.ca in directory pub/IEEE/software as dsp.zip. It includes FIR and IIR filter design software, as well as other general purpose DSP subroutines. There is also a C/C++ version of the Parks-McLellan FIR filter design program available for anonymous ftp from ftp.uu.net in directory /usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume22/fir as file part01.Z. This program was created and tested using Borland C++ 2.0. [Witold Waldman, witold@hotblk.aed.dsto.gov.au, from Charles Owen at mgcbo@uxa.ecn.bgu.au] { There are other free filter design programs floating around out there, such as optfir/wfir. Does anyone know of ftp sites? } -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q1.2.12: What is SigLib? Where can I get it? SigLib is an ANSI C Source Library of DSP functions that has been used on a variety of platforms containing both General purpose micros and DSPs. Siglib contains graphical front ends for DOS and Windows, the full C Source, example programs and registered users get one years free upgrade, maintenance and support. SigLib is distributed as shareware and as a commercial product. The shareware version is available in object code only, however. The following is a brief overview of some of the functionality of SigLib: spectrum analysis (including frequency zoom capabilities), windows, fixed, multirate (polyphase) and adaptive filters, filter design methods, convolution (1 and 2 dimensions), correlation, signal generation, modulation and a whole suite of DSP utility functions and graphic routines.

Abstract: The NSWC library is a library of general-purpose Fortran subroutines that provide a basic computational capability in a variety of mathematical activities. Emphasis has been placed on the transportability of the codes. Subroutines are available in the following areas: Elementary Operations, Geometry, Special Functions, Polynomials, Vectors, Matrices, Large Dense Systems of Linear Equations, Banded Matrices, Sparse Matrices, Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors, l1 Solution of Linear Equations, Least-Squares Solution of Linear Equations, Optimization, Transforms, Approximation of Functions, Curve Fitting, Surface Fitting, Manifold Fitting, Numerical Integration, Integral Equations, Ordinary Differential Equations, Partial Differential Equations [Witold Waldman, witold@hotblk.aed.dsto.gov.au] Apparently euler.math.usma.edu has these routines in the file "pub/misc/nswc.tar.Z". This is a 3.2 Mbyte file with 800+ Fortran routines mentioned above. Apparently euler.math.usma.edu has been down a lot lately, however, and the network connection to it is quite slow.

Where can I get the source for CELP and LPC? CELP stands for "code excited linear prediction". LPC stands for "linear predictive coding". They are compression algorithms used for low bit rate (2400 and 4800 bps) speech coding. The U.S. DoD's Federal Standard 1016 (FS 1016) based 4800 bps code excited linear prediction voice coder version 3.2 (CELP 3.2) Fortran and C simulation source codes are available for worldwide distribution at no charge (on DOS diskettes, but configured to compile on Sun SPARC stations) from: Bob Fenichel National Communications System Washington, D.C. 20305 1-703-692-2124 1-703-746-4960 (fax) Example input and processed speech files, a technical information bulletin, and the official standard "Federal Standard 1016, Telecommunications: Analog to Digital Conversion of Radio Voice by 4,800 bit/second Code Excited Linear Prediction (CELP)" are included at no charge. Unfortunately, a document that is a vital part of the CELP release package is not available in electronic form. Anyone serious interested in CELP should obtain the document: Details to Assist in Implementation of Federal Standard 1016 CELP. National Communications System, Office of Technology & Standards, 1992. Technical Information Bulletin 92-1. It is available from the above address. The following article describes the FS 1016 4.8-kbps CELP coder: Campbell, Joseph P. Jr., Thomas E. Tremain and Vanoy C. Welch, "The Proposed Federal Standard 1016 4800 bps Voice Coder: CELP," Speech Technology Magazine, April/May 1990, p. 58-64.

Meade, MD 20755-6000 USA The U.S. Federal Standard 1015 (NATO STANAG 4198) is described in: Thomas E. Tremain, "The Government Standard Linear Predictive Coding Algorithm: LPC-10," Speech Technology Magazine, April 1982, p. 40-49. Copies of the official standards FS 1015 and FS 1016 are available for US $2.50 each from: GSA Rm 6654 7th & D St SW Washington, D.C. 20407 1 (202) 708-9205 Realtime DSP code for FS-1015 and FS-1016 is sold by several vendors, including DSP Software Engineering and Analogical Systems (see the vendor address list in section 5 for contact info). DSP Software Engineering's FS-1016 code can run on a DSP Research's Tiger 30 or on Intellibit's AE2000 TMS320C31 based 3" by 2.5" card. See section 4.1 for more on these cards. Analogical's product runs on a 27 MHz DSP56001 chip.

If anyone knows of a new ftp site, please send mail to comp-dsp-faq@ohm.berkeley.edu.} ======================================================================= Q2.3: What is ADPCM? Where can I get source for it? ADPCM stands for Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation. It is a family of speech compression and decompression algorithms. A common implementation takes 16-bit linear PCM samples samples and converts them to 4-bit samples, yeilding a compression rate of 4:1. There is public domain C code available via anonymous ftp at ftp.cwi.nl in /pub/adpcm.shar written by Jack Jansen (email Jack.Jansen@cwi.nl). It is very programmer-friendly. The ADPCM code used is the Intel/DVI ADPCM code which is being recommended by the IMA Digital Audio Technical Working Group. It allows the following calls: adpcm_coder(short inbuf[], char outbuf[], int nsample, struct adpcm_state *state); adpcm_decoder(char inbuf[], short outbuf[], int nsample, struct adpcm_state *state); The routines have been tested on an SGI Indigo running Irix 4.0.2 and on a Sparcstation 1+ running SunOS 4.1.1. On a Sun, the code will compress at 250Ksample/sec and decompress at 300Ksample/sec. On an SGI, the compressor runs at 350Ksample/sec and the decompressor at 700Ksample/sec. Note that this is NOT a CCITT G722 coder. The CCITT ADPCM standard is much more complicated, probably resulting in better quality sound but also in much more computational overhead. [From Dan Frankowski, drankow@cs.umn.edu; Jack Jansen, Jack.Jansen@cwi.nl] ======================================================================= Q2.4: What is GSM? Where can I get source for it? The README file for GSM says: GSM 06.10 13 kbit/s RPE/LTP speech compression available -------------------------------------------------------- The Communications and Operating Systems Research Group (KBS) at the Technische Universitaet Berlin is currently working on a set of UNIX-based tools for computer-mediated telecooperation that will be made freely available. As part of this effort we are publishing an implementation of the European GSM 06.10 provisional standard for full-rate speech transcoding, prI-ETS 300 036, which uses RPE/LTP (residual pulse excitation/long term prediction) coding at 13 kbit/s. GSM 06.10 compresses frames of 160 13-bit samples (8 kHz sampling rate, i.e. a frame rate of 50 Hz) into 260 bits; for compatibility with typical UNIX applications, our implementation turns frames of 160 16-bit linear samples into 33-byte frames (1650 Bytes/s). The quality of the algorithm is good enough for reliable speaker recognition; even music often survives transcoding in recognizable form (given the bandwidth limitations of 8 kHz sampling rate). The interfaces offered are a front end modelled after compress(1), and a library API. Compression and decompression run faster than realtime on most SPARCstations. The implementation has been verified against the ETSI standard test patterns.

Pitch is officially defined as "That attribute of auditory sensation in terms of which sounds may be ordered on a musical scale." Several good examples illustrating the subtleties of pitch perception are included in the "Auditory Demonstrations CD" which is available from the Acoustical Society of America, Woodbury, NY 10797 for $20. A good general reference about the psychology of pitch perception is the book: B.C.J. Moore, "An Introduction to the Psychology of Hearing", Academic Press, London, 1989. This book is available in paperback and makes a good desk reference. An algorithm implementation that matches a large body of psychoacoustical work, but which is computationally very intensive, is presented in the paper: Malcolm Slaney and Richard Lyon, "A Perceptual Pitch Detector," Proceedings of the International Conference of Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 1990, Albuquerque, New Mexico. The definitive papers describing the use of such a perceptual pitch detector as applied to the classical pitch literature is in: Ray Meddis and M. J. Hewitt. "Virtual pitch and phase sensitivity of a computer model of the auditory periphery. " Journal of the Acoustical Society of America 89 (6 1991): 2866-2682. and 2883-2894. The current work that argues for a pure spectral method starts with the work of Goldstein: J. Goldstein, "An optimum processor theory for the central formation of the pitch of complex tones," Journal of the Acoustical Society of America 54, 1496-1516, 1973. Two approaches are worth considering if something approximating pitch is appropriate. The people at IRCAM have proposed a harmonic analysis approach that can be implemented on a DSP Boris Doval and Xavier Rodet, "Estimation of Fundamental Frequency of Musical Sound Signals," Proceedings of the 1991 International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, Toronto, Volume 5, pp. 3657-3660. The classic paper for time domain (peak picking) pitch algorithms is: B. Gold and L. Rabiner, "Parallel processing techniques for estimating pitch periods of speech in the time domain," Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 46, pp 441-448, 1969. Finally, a word of caution: Pitch is not single-valued. We can hear a sound and match it to several different pitches. Imagine the number of instruments in an orchestra, each with its own pitch. Even a single sound can have more than one pitch. See for example Demonstration 27 from the ASA Auditory Demonstrations CD. [The above from Malcolm Slaney, Apple Computer, and John Lazzaro, U.C. Berkeley.] ======================================================================= Q2.6: What standards are there for digital audio? What is AES/EBU? What is S/P-DIF? The "AES/EBU" (Audio Engineering Society / European Broadcast Union) digital audio standard is probably the most popular digital audio standard today. Most consumer and professional digital audio devices (CD players, DAT decks, etc.) that feature digital audio I/O support AES/EBU. AES/EBU is a bit-serial communications protocol for transmitting digital audio data through a single transmission line. It provides two channels of audio data (up to 24 bits per sample), a method for communication control and status information ("channel status bits"), and some error detection capabilities. Clocking information (i.e., sample rate) is derived from the AES/EBU bit stream, and is thus controlled by the transmitter. The standard mandates use of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz sample rates, but some interfaces can be made to work at other sample rates. AES/EBU provides both "professional" and "consumer" modes. The big difference is in the format of the channel status bits mentioned above. The professional mode bits include alphanumeric channel origin and destination data, time of day codes, sample number codes, word length, and other goodies. The consumer mode bits have much less information, but do include information on copy protection (naturally). Additionally, the standard provides for "user data", which is a bit stream containing user-defined (i.e., manufacturer-defined) data. According to Tim Channon, "CD user data is almost raq CD subcode; DAT is StartID and SkipID. In progfessional mode, there is an SDLC protocol or, if DAT, it may be the same as consumer mode." There physical connection media are commonly used with AES/EBU: balanced (differential), using two wires and shield in three-wire microphone cable with XLR connectors; unbalanced (single-ended), using audio coax cable with RCA jacks; and optical (via fiber optics). "S/P-DIF" (Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format) typically refers to AES/EBU operated in consumer mode over unbalanced RCA cable. Note that S/P-DIF and AES/EBU mean different things depending on how much of a purist you are in the digital audio world; see the Finger article below.

Where can I get source for it? Mu-law (also "u-law") encoding is a form of logarithmic quantization or companding. It's based on the observation that many signals are statistically more likely to be near a low signal level than a high signal level. Therefore, it makes more sense to have more quantization points near a low level than a high level. In a typical mu-law system, linear samples of 14 to 16 bits are companded to 8 bits. Most telephone quality codecs (including the Sparcstation's audio codec) use mu-law encoded samples. Desktop Sparc machines come with routines to convert between linear and mu-law samples. On a desktop Sparc, see the man page for audio_ulaw2linear in /usr/demo/SOUND/man. Craig Reese posted the source of similar routines to comp.dsp in August '92.

CD players use a 44.1 kHz sample rate, whereas DAT uses a 48 kHz sample rate. This means that you must do sample rate conversion before you can get data from a CD player directly into a DAT deck. [From Ed Hall, edhall@rand.org:] For a start, look at "Multirate Digital Signal Processing" by Crochiere and Rabiner (see FAQ section 1.1). Almost any technique for producing good digital low-pass filters will be adaptable to sample-rate conversion. 44.1:48 and vice-versa is pretty hairy, though, because the lowest whole-number ratio is 147:160. To do all that in one go would require a FIR with thousands of coefficients, of which only 1/147th or 1/160th are used for each sample--the real problem is memory, not CPU for most DSP chips. You could chain several interpolators and decimators, as suggested by factoring the ratio into 3*7*7:2*2*2*2*2*5. This adds complexity, but reduces the the ter of coefficients required by a considerable amount. In any case, your local DSP guru will probably be able to suggest a good program for designing digital filters (this is a good general question for the net, anyway). This is one case where going beyond the simpler windowed-sinc-based approaches might pay off (and I'm afraid I can't recommend any readily available programs myself). ============================================================================= 3. Programmable DSP chips and software. This section deals with programmable DSP chips and their software.

A free assembler for the Motorola DSP56000 exists, thanks to Quinn Jensen, jensenq@qcj.icon.com. The current version is 1.1, and it is posted to alt.sources, so look for it on mirrors of that newsgroup (like wuarchive.wustl.edu). ======================================================================= Q3.2.2: Where can I get a free C compiler for the Motorola DSP56000? There are two separate compiler sources for the Motorola DSP56000.

Andrew's port has bowed to Motorola's version. Both may be portable to gcc2.x.x with some effort required. Neither of these comes with an assembler, but you can get a free DSP56000 assembler elsewhere (see Q3.2.1 above).

Sonitech (see vendors list) has a gcc based TMS320C30 C compiler that was originally done Computer Motion. Sonitech sells it for $995, but under the terms of the Gnu Public License, other people can then give it away.

Ted Rossin has written an assembler and linker for the TMS320C30. In his words, "It is somewhat limited by the fact that it can't handle expressions but it has worked fine for me over the past few years. There is no manual because it is a clone of the TI assembler and linker. However the linker command files use a different (easier to use) syntax. It runs on HP-UX workstations, Macs, IBM clones and believe it or not the Atari-ST (because I developed the code on it)." It is available for anonymous ftp from schutz.ee.uts.edu in ~/pub/DSP/c30/as30.tar.Z".

Thanks! Archive-name: dsp-faq/part3 Last-modified: Sun May 30 1993 Version: 1.1 Q5.0 What DSP operating systems are available? [This was researched and written by Chuck Corley (chuckc@sr.hp.com)] Some designers need to use an operating system with a DSP processor and others don't. The need for DSP operating system seems to depend on the task(s) to be performed. For simple DSP tasks where the DSP is doing only a single repetitive function, an operating system is usually not needed and could get in the way. When the number and complexity of DSP tasks increase, an operating system of some type may be needed in order to allocate system resources (RAM, etc.) and to perform multi-tasking, where several tasks take turns executing. One example: A DSP processor may be required to perform non-DSP jobs in order to eliminate a 'host' processor. An operating system may be needed in order to share processing time and resources between the DSP and non-DSP tasks. An option for some DSP applications is to write your own DSP 'task-switching' or 'job allocating' operating system. Whether this is the right choice for you depends on how involved your operating system needs to be, and how much time you have available to spend writing it. A number of companies now offer pre-written operating systems that execute on DSP processors. In exchange for your money they offer to save you the time and effort of writing and debugging your own 'operating system' or 'task switcher'. These companies describe their products as 'real-time' operating systems. What 'real-time' means is debated, but it normally means that the maximum time for the operating system to respond to an external event is known. The calculation for measuring this time involves adding together interrupt response time, task switching time, and other processor and operating system benchmarks. 'Real-time' also usually means 'fast'. Embedded CPU or DSP tasks often require a 'real-time' response time. Prices and features vary. All companies charge for purchasing their 'development environment', which allows you to develop code which will run on their operating system. Some companies also charge a fee for each product you build that includes their operating system software. This is usually called a 'target fee' or 'runtime license' fee. Some operating systems have no 'runtime license' fees. It is *very* important to negotiate what the runtime license fee will be *in advance*. If this price is not agreed upon in writing when the development system is purchased, you could be in a bad position later. You will have invested a lot of time and effort writing software to work with a particular operating system, and when your creation is produced you could discover that the 'runtime license fee' has increased or is more than you can afford. Considering the amount of work you would have invested in that operating system, you would be in a very poor bargaining position. You will also need to decide if having the source code for the operating system is important to you. Some companies include it for free, while others may charge extra. Features for the DSP operating systems are listed below. Some vendors claim that a 'No' listing for a feature doesn't necessarily mean that their operating system is missing something you need. Some companies state that certain features were not appropriate for either a 'DSP' or a 'real-time' operating system, and so they did not implement them. Other companies stated that some features were not appropriate for their targeted users. One suggestion for comparing features: Make a list of the features you *really* need and compare it against the list below.
