Freescale Semiconductor Application Note
AN2407 Rev. 1, 12/2004
Reed Solomon Encoder/Decoder on the StarCore⢠SC140/SC1400 Cores, With Extended Examples
By Jasmin Oz and Assaf Naor This application note describes the implementation of the ReedSolomon error-control codes on the StarCore⢠SC140 DSP core. Reed-Solomon codes are the preferred error-control coding procedures in a wide range of applications, such as ADSL, digital cellular phones, storage devices, and deep-space communications. Their popularity originates from their strong capability to correct both random and burst errors. The current trend for improving DSP-processing speed is to place multiple processor units on a single chip with an architecture that supports parallel execution.
