Hi Jorge,
I see that you want to know more about deploying code to a physical hearing aid. Since this is not a trivial task, & requires multiple steps. Here is a high level overview of how you may go about it:
Prototype Your Algorithm
- Refine your model in MATLAB/Simulink.
- Convert algorithms to fixed-point arithmetic using Fixed-Point Designer.
Select Suitable DSP Hardware
- Choose the appropriate Digital Signal Processor (DSP) chip for your hearing aid.
- Obtain a development kit for the selected DSP.
Code Generation and Optimization
- Use MATLAB Coder and Simulink Coder to generate C/C++ code.
- Optimize the generated code for the DSP architecture.
Software Integration
- Familiarize with the DSP’s firmware development environment.
- Integrate MATLAB-generated code with DSP firmware, adapting for hardware components like ADCs (Analog to Digital Converter) for microphone inputand DACs (Digital to Analog Converter) for speaker output.
Testing and Validation
- Deploy and test the firmware on the DSP development kit.
- Refine algorithm and DSP code based on testing results.
- Deploy & Test.
