Configuration the DSP Card

Purpose

This section describes how to configure the DSP chips. The maximum number of DSP chips for the DSP-ONE cards is 16.

Configuring Functions

Use the DSP SIMM Configure (0x00C0) message to configure individual DSP resource functions on one SIMM. In the message, you can assign different functions to each of the DSP chips on the SIMM. You can assign only one function type per DSP chip, and these function types are listed in the message. To configure SIMMs, follow the steps below:

1. Take each SIMM out of service using the Service State Configure (0x000A) message.

2. Configure each SIMM separately, with the DSP SIMM Configure (0x00C0) message. The host can specify the function to be loaded to each DSP chip.

3. Bring the SIMM back into service, with the Service State Configure (0x000A) message.

NOTE: VRA SIMMs on the DSP-ONE card are automatically configured for the VRA function.
