From DM6437 To DM6446

Hello,

We have developed a project on DM6437 using Code Composer Studio v3.3 on Windows 7 and we need to run this project on DM6446 DSP. Our question is how should we proceed? We read the workshop named DaVinci-OMAP_Workshop_(v2.1), and we compiled and run the encode decode demos/examples in the dvsdk of DM6446 on Linux. We also searched the TI forum but we cannot find any clue about from where we should start. How should we integrate this project into DM6446? 

Thank you for your help

  • Hello Demirhan,

    You can go to Code Composer Studio setup and choose the target as DM6446 instead of DM6437 and then open your project and rebuild all.

    Regards,

  • I just ran across this thread today. Did you ever solve this problem?

    I'm not exactly sure what you were looking to do. The other answer provided would be correct, if you wanted to just run your DSP-only program on the DM6446. But, I suspect the move to the DM6446 is to be able to partition your program using both the ARM and DSP cores.

    If you used the Codec Engine framework to run your algorithms (audio, video, etc), then you can make the Codec Engine calls from an ARM program and they will still run on the DSP. In this case, the hardest part of the program to port is moving from DSP-based drivers (say, built with the DSP/BIOS OS) to ARM-based drivers (usually, Linux drivers); unfortunately, each operating system has its own driver API.

    Beyond this, it's hard to give much direction since we don't know your DM6437 program.
