[comp.dsp] DSP help please!!

I am building a DSP board for a college project (probably using TMS 32010 or
32020) and I haven't a clue about the practicalities of the software.
So, would someone be kind enough to tell me about it, or possibly recommend
a down to earth book??
I am interested in all the usual things- filtering, FFTs, reverb, pitch
shifting, re-synthesis etc. I would also be interested in real-time data
compression, if anyone knows about that- I can't seem to find any books on
it.

Thanks in advance. (replies by Email if possible)

At first, get copies of Texas Instruments Digital Signal Processing
Applications with the TMS320 Family, parts 1, 2 and 3.  Next, get a
simulator and assembler for the DSP processor you are going to use.
 
In my humble opinion, the least expensive way to get into DSP is to
use a PC clone (a real IBM PC/XT will do), run assembler and simulator on
it and to build or buy the hardware with interface to the PC (either
via Centronics interface or with bus interface).
 
I prefer MOtorola 56001 because of its 24 wordlenght and Crystal A/D
converters because of in-built anti-aliasing filter (ie. oversampling
system).
