whether PA support TCP transfer

hello everyone,

I want to use the PA to replace the NDK ,becuase the NDK consumes cpu cycles. I know the PA support udp transfer,but I am not sure whether I can use the PA transfer TCP protocol and UDP protocol at the same time.

Best Regards,

Si

  • Si,

    The data will be exchanged between the PA and an application through the Mutlicore Navigator. There is no test code for your requirement. You have to implement for this. 

    TI provides the PA LLD, this is used to configure the hardware PA and provides an abstraction layer between an application and the PA firmware. 

  • Pubesh,

    You said "The data will be exchanged between the PA and an application through the Mutlicore Navigator."

    Q1:Does the data to be exchanged include tcp data and udp data?

    Q2:I have a idea, I use the PA to receive TCP or UPD data, and do some  protocol check, after cheking, it will tell the socket in the app layer. I just want to use PA replace the CPU to do protocl check.So in this way, I will use PA to check and ndk to do socket communication. For sending, it's similar with receiving. I am not sure whether this way is OK.

  • Si,

    Yes, your understanding is correct. It will transfer  the tcp/udp data.

    Correct, the NDK stack will support for socket communication.

  • Pubesh.

    Thanks for you. I wonder that why IT designs the PA, but does't integrate it to NDK for c66x platform, if PA is integrated into ndk, it will largely reduce the cpu's load when using network. It is disappointing that IT has no plan to do that.
