TMS570 development



Hello forum,

 I am new to micro controller application development. I need to quickly build an application that does the following. I am trying to describe this at the lowest level of coding needed -->

1. Read in an array of BAYER format image data of size 1 MB

2. Process the pixels to calculate average R/G/B data

3. Make a decision based on (2) above and send an interrupt out of TMS570

Can somebody please tell me, how can I do (1) and (2) above using the TMS570 USB development kit that I'll get next week?

I need answers to questions like -->

1. Where do I store the image array data on my PC and how to make cortex R4 have access to it in the USB development platform?

2. Can I write some high level language (like C) or if I stretch my luck then perl to process this data --> compile this code for cortex R4 --> write it to the on board flash --> run it from TMS570 directly..

 

Thank you very much..

  • Folks,

      I found a USB stick video on the forum which tells me about CCS and also that it comes bundled with the USB development kit DVD. I can use that environment for writing the C program. Since I am new on CCS as well hence request you to still answer my original question # 1 i.e. -->

    1.  Where do I store the image array data on my PC and how to make cortex R4 have access to it in the USB development platform using CCS?

    2. Any quick CCS tutorial to be used to enable code development on TMS570?


    Thank you..

  • Hello friends,

    I found a book which has answers to many of the basic questions that I posed to the forum.

    This will be helpful for people who are (just like myself) -

    (a) new to CCS environment and/or "embedded C programming:

    (b) new to developing image processing applications on TMS series

    The book is "Embedded Image Processing on the TMS320C6000 DSP: Examples in Code Composer Studio and MATLAB". This is available on books24x7 online.

    Thank you.

  • Thanks Aish. I hope your project went well.
