C6486 DSP - P4080 (Freescale) Interaction

Hi Everyone,

We are going to interface C6486 DSP with P4080 freescale for messaging interface in our project.

There are two options in DSP to go with this interface.

=> SRIO port

=> EMAC interface (Ethernet)

The message exchange frequency will be 10ms packet. 

Please let me know which interface to go with?

Advantages and disadvantages in each peripheral?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Regards,

Venkat R

  • Either interface will meet your needs. You are familiar with their respective data rates, so you know whether they will both meet your data rate needs.

    There is no matching TI part called C6486, so I do not know if you have mis-named the letters or mis-named the numbers.

    Ethernet has a familiar stack for many programmers, which could make it attractive to you. SRIO could use fewer pins and signals.
