This course provides an overview of the SC140 DSP core architecture, including its components and related attributes and features. We'll take a detailed look at the Address Generation Unit, variable length execution set, processing states, and C Compiler. We’ll examine the features of the extended SC140 core and the StarCore derivatives designed for networking infrastructure. We’ll also review Motorola’s SC140 tools and StarCore target markets.

The prerequisite for this course is Motorola’s NetComm course. Familiarity with the DSP56300, the PowerPC product family, and Metrowerks’ CodeWarrior is also assumed.
