Getting Started

  1. Get started by setting up DICE, which is a software tool on which all other DFW packages depend.

  2. Become familiar with Bash if are not already familiar with it. To make the most of DSPCAD Framework (DFW) tools, familiarity with Bash is helpful. Some useful resources for learning about basic and advanced usage of Bash can be found here. If you are working with DFW tools on a Mac platform, you should make sure that you are using the latest version of Bash.

  3. As your work with the DFW progresses, you will probably need to install additional DFW packages. Installing additional DFW packages is easy once you have installed DICE. You first need to determine whether the package you are installing is a base package or a plug-in package. In the former case, you use the installation instructions for base packages; in the latter case you use the installation instructions for plug-in packages.

  4. Once you have started using DICE, you should set up a .dspcadrc file, and start using that to start up DICE when you want to use it. You can also start up other installed DFW packages using your .dspcadrc file. Instructions on creating and using a .dspcadrc file can be found here.
