AB  - Upgrading Digital Signal Processing Development Boards in an Introductory               Undergraduate Signals and Systems CourseThis paper presents the results of a controlled one semester study where students responded to ahardware upgrade from the Texas Instruments TMS320C6713 DSK development board to theBeagleboard-xM platform in the laboratory associated with first Electrical and ComputerEngineering course in signal processing at the undergraduate level. The sophomore-level coursein signal processing is required of all engineering majors and provides a foundation in themathematical modeling and analysis of signals and of linear time-invariant systems. Thelaboratory component of the course utilizes applications of signal processing to motivate thebreadth of the field which includes filters, AM modulation, and Nyquist sampling theory. In thisstudy, both the TMS320C6713 DSK development board with its 225MHz processor and thenewer Beagleboard-xM with its 1 GHz processer provide students with a real-time,programmable signal-processing hardware platform that enhances the learning experience. TheDSK board requires the use of an intermediary software tool, CodeComposer Studio, to compileand program whereas the Beagleboard interfaces directly with MATLAB. Analysis of theusefulness of the hardware upgrade was carried out by assessing student’s acceptance of theDSK versus Beagleboard-xM in terms of its usefulness and usability over four key laboratoryexperiments: Digital Audio Effects, Touch-Tone Phone, Voice Scrambler-Descrambler, andSampling and Aliasing. The extent to which the two hardware platforms were able tosuccessfully achieve learning outcomes in the course is also presented.Figure 1: TMS320C6713 DSK board                   Figure 2: Beagleboard-xM  (http://www.ti.com/tool/tmdsdsk6713)   (http://beagleboard.org/Products/BeagleBoard-xM)
