TI's standard kit C6713DSK has only 256K bytes of Flash, which is too small for my application. Is there a third-party DSP kit that has a larger Flash like 16M bytes?

    What on earth do you need all that for? Can you offload it into an external eeprom? – pjc50 Oct 02 '12 at 08:37
  • How much larger, and what is your application, needing such an amount of flash? I almost think you are looking for an FPGA – chwi Oct 02 '12 at 09:34
  • Switching to an FPGA would not solve your code storage problem, if anything it would make it much worse. Like pjc50 said, you'll need an external EEPROM. And asking whether any devkits have a large EEPROM onboard is a very reasonable question, but it borders on being a shopping recommendation, so it might get voted off this site. – Ben Voigt Oct 02 '12 at 15:53
  • @Wilhelmsen The application needs lots of initialized data. I don't quite understand how FPGA could solve the problem. – Penghe Geng Oct 02 '12 at 16:49
  • DSP, number crushing, fpga. That was on the top of my head, but i would go for external flash. Sorry for the bad comment – chwi Oct 03 '12 at 05:22

The Daughter Card interface of the DSK6713 is memory mapped though the same interface the on-board Flash and SDRAM is:

You could buy a prototyping daughter card from Link Research and add however much memory you need for storage through that interface.

  • It looks a nice option. But I am not sure whether there is a large capacity Flash chip with the same HTSSOP package as the onboard Flash. All the large capacity Flash chips I've found so far are of BGA packages... – Penghe Geng Oct 03 '12 at 19:40
  • @JasonGeng Why do you need it to be in the same package as the onboard? And I found 53 ICs in the 16M-32M range for Flash memory in various pinned SOP packages on Digikey. – embedded.kyle Oct 03 '12 at 20:11
  • Glad to know it doesn't need to be in the same package. Though there's another interface board already stacked on top of my DSK. Anyway, this may be the closest answer for this question. – Penghe Geng Oct 03 '12 at 20:34
  • @JasonGeng It's a bit more money, but this version is stackable: http://www.link-research.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_13&products_id=34 So you can stack your other daughter card on top of it. Just be sure to use connections that won't interfere with the operation of your other card. – embedded.kyle Oct 03 '12 at 21:02
