Many MCU-based applications can benefit from the use of an efficient digital signal processing library. ARM developed a set of functions called the CMSIS DSP library that is compatible with all ARM Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 processors and that is specifically designed to use ARM assembly instructions handle various complex DSP functions. ARM supplies example projects for use in its Keil µVision IDE that are meant to show how to build its CMSIS DSP libraries and run them on a Cortex-M3 or Cortex-M4 processor. This application note describes the steps that are necessary to build those same DSP libraries inside Code Composer Studio version 5 and run those example applications on a Stellaris.
