    $\begingroup$ This isn't really a signal processing question, is it? However, I'd re-evaluate what you really want to teach, seeing that you posted this on a signal processing site: Programming can be done just as well targetting any other architecture than the TMS320C6713. Honestly, I don't think there's much value in teaching students to blink an LED on a relatively special-usecase DSP board, unless you want to teach them embedded development – which again I wouldn't recommend doing on a DSP board. If you just want to teach them how to do digital signal processing in software: $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 9, 2021 at 18:03

    $\begingroup$ Let them do that on a PC, targetting a PC. There's not really a downside to that for undergrad students – only when they know very well how to do that, they could then move to remotely deploying code on a DSP board (and by then, DIP switches and LEDs are rather boring, and you'd use the board for something it's really meant for, like pushing through hundreds of millions of values per second). But honestly, I don't think your students learn too much on an old DSP board that they couldn't learn targetting x86_64 or ARM64 + SIMD. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 9, 2021 at 18:05

    $\begingroup$ Does this answer your question? Hardware kits for DSP Lab? $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 9, 2021 at 18:06
  • $\begingroup$ Thanks@MarcusMüller for your comments but i don't think that the question referred by you contains reasonable guidance relevant to my question $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 10, 2021 at 6:59

    $\begingroup$ What I found is that you really don't have to adhere 100% to the current syllabus; this is a pandemic. You have to work around that, and the department has to accept what you'll do :) The DSP thing you have is double bad, because other DSP platforms at least have software emulators that students could use at home – TMS320C67 doesn't even have that. It's really software development like in the early 90s, and that doesn't work when people have to work remotely. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 10, 2021 at 10:47
