The project required the implementation of OFDM transmitter and receiver and an attempt at estimating the channel. To keep things simple the implementation was done using Simulink and then the Matlab coder was used to port the implementation to a TMS320C6713. Now here's the problem, CCS v4 requires Matlab 2011b and above. Now to observe live data 'Real Time Data Exchange' (RTDX) mechanism can be used.Problem with using RTDX is that it's not supported by CCS v4, only v3 and then it skips a version supporting v5 all of a sudden. Now Matlab 2011b doesn't support CCS v5 ,or at least that what was proved by 5 hours of futile attempts at making it work. So whats left to do, going back to v3.3. This damn version doesn't support Matlab 2011b. Had to travel back in time and switch to XP having Matlab 7.0 installed. At last, things seemed to be look positive only to be shattered when an attempt to build the simulink model spat out an ugly error So problem with the compiler I suppose. It wanted VC++ 2010 compiler which again had to be downloaded and installed. What a day !
