I am trying to make application using TMS320VC5441. I am new in DSP field. I have read the datasheet of TMS320VC5441, but failed to find out its internal Flash where i will store the code. Kindly tell me, is it require external Flash, if yes,how can i interface it to external Flash.

Thanks & Regards

As you found, there isn't any internal flash available. Also, I didn't see it has any external memory interface.
It seems, it only supports HPI booting. I'm not sure you'll like that. See whether you can use this selection tool to find a chip close to your requirement.
I was only able to write a small program for C5000 as these chips are used for small and low power devices. I recommend you to start with C6000 as you could explore almost all advantages of DSPs. (Also, I suggest you to start with an evaluation module with software drivers, etc... You can find a lot from eBay).
