Moving average filter with decimation

Carlo Concari November 18, 2010 Coded in Mixed C and ASM for the Freescale DSP56F8xx

This library implements a C-callable ASM moving average filter for the Freescale DSP56F800E family of digital signal controllers.

The filter has a configurable decimation factor, useful for correctly averaging slowly varying signals with high sampling rates.
 
Source includes the header file for inclusion in C applications as well as the code itself and an usage example in C.
