Codec Engine migration guide for Syslink & SysBios For 816x

Expert 2030 points
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Is there any migration guide for Codec engine & friends from DSPBIOS/DSPLINK to SYSBIOS/SYSLINK   available in the SDK ? We are trying to port  a codec server with custom codec from DM6446 to netra, and would appreciate pointers on this topic, both for the ARM side as well as the DSP side.

  • There's unfortunately no porting guide.  One thing that may bite you is that DM6446 uses DSP side COFF libraries while Netra uses ELF libraries.  If you own all the codecs yourself, rebuilding them is typically mechanical, but if you're integrating libraries from other producers, you'll need to get ELF libraries.

    On the Server side, Server/alg config is the same; the OS config (BIOS->Sys/BIOS) is different.  You should be able to use the GenServer wizard to get a base Server started (since I see from other posts you're on a recent CE 3.21.00.13-ish release, GenServer is supported there).

    From the ARM side, the config (Engine.createFromServer()) and app sources are the same.

    I think you should leverage GenServer to put the Server together, and post questions as they come up.
