Audio development tool for SHARC processors

28 November 2012 Design Automation

Analog Devices recently introduced the SigmaStudio for SHARC graphical development tool for audio applications.

Based on the company’s SigmaStudio for SigmaDSP digital signal processor tool, the new tool is a programming, development and real-time tuning software environment that enables developers to graphically design and program audio applications for SHARC processors using an extensive library of more than 100 pre-built audio algorithms.

SigmaStudio for SHARC supports both block and sample processing, and enables a variety of functions such as filtering, mixing, decoding and dynamics processing, as well as basic low-level DSP functions and control blocks on multiple audio channels.

The new tool allows audio engineers to wire together familiar audio processing blocks in a schematic-like layout, while a compiler generates DSP-ready code and a ‘control surface’ for setting and tuning all parameters in real-time, directly on the production system.

The tool is powerful enough to satisfy the demands of experienced DSP engineers, while allowing audio developers with little or no DSP code writing experience to easily implement a SHARC audio processor in their design.

The SigmaStudio for SHARC tool is available as a free software download and requires a Windows PC, CrossCore Embedded Studio IDE, a supported SHARC EZ-Kit and USB adaptor cables.
