TMS320C6727: Can C6727 use C64x+ imglib?

Part Number: TMS320C6727

Hello Champs,

C6727 is a floating point dsp, can C6727 use C64x+ imglib which is fixed point? 

Thanks.

    Hi Shine,

    No, it is not advisable to use the imglib directly. There are differences in the dsp cores (C67x is different from C64x).

    Looping the sw team to elaborate if needed.

    Best Regards,

    HEre is an image of evolution of the TI DSP architecture:

    The C64x+ is a fixed point architecture while the C6727 device has the C6700 DSP floating point architecture. Their assembly instruction set is not compatible hence we don`t recommend use of IMGLIB directly. 

    However, the IMGLIB contains lot of C code implementation and intrinsic C implementation that can be crosss compiled for the C6727 architecture using the -mv flag of the C6000 compiler.
