Glossary
 
A-2
block:
The three least significant bits of the program address. These corre-
spond to the address within a fetch packet of the first instruction being
addressed. 
BOARD:
The BOARD-specific API Module. 
board support library (BSL):
The BSL is a set of application programming
interfaces (APIs) consisting of target side DSP code used to configure
and control board level peripherals. 
boot:
The process of loading a program into program memory. 
boot mode:
The method of loading a program into program memory. The
C6x DSP supports booting from external ROM or the host port interface
(HPI). 
BSL:
See board support library. 
byte:
A sequence of eight adjacent bits operated upon as a unit. 
C
cache:
A fast storage buffer in the central processing unit of a computer. 
cache module:
CACHE is an API module containing a set of functions for
managing data and program cache. 
cache controller:
System component that coordinates program accesses
between CPU program fetch mechanism, cache, and external memory.
CCS:
Code Composer Studio. 
central processing unit (CPU):
The portion of the processor involved in
arithmetic, shifting, and Boolean logic operations, as well as the genera-
tion of data- and program-memory addresses. The CPU includes the
central arithmetic logic unit (CALU), the multiplier, and the auxiliary regis-
ter arithmetic unit (ARAU). 
CHIP:
 See CHIP module. 
CHIP module:
The CHIP module is an API module where chip-specific and
device-related code resides. CHIP has some API functions for obtaining
device endianess, memory map mode if applicable, CPU and REV IDs,
and clock speed. 
chip support library (CSL):
 The CSL is a set of application programming
interfaces (APIs) consisting of target side DSP code used to configure
and control all on-chip peripherals.
