My project is on evmc6474.

Hi,

I am new to multicore dsp's and ccsv3.3. To avoid overheads I need to program without DSP/Bios.  I need guidance as how to start about.  I went through the examples inside the boards folder of the installation.  Not comprehesible. I also went though the videos of c6474.  Still not clear as how to start.  Kindly guide me.

  • CCS 3.3 comes with a lot of good tutorials. Those are how I learned to use many of the tools available with CCS 3.3.

    Can you build the examples that came with the board, but you do not understand how they work? Or are you unable to get the examples to load and run?

    What have you been able to do so far in addition to installing CCS 3.3 and the EVM installation?

    DSP/BIOS may add some memory space to your application. That space is not too large for most applications, and it can be reduced by turning off features that you later find you do not need. And DSP/BIOS does not directly add any overhead to your application once you are running.

    DSP/BIOS was designed to make it easy to your project working. Using DSP/BIOS reduces the "overhead" associated with learning to operate the device, handle interrupts, and build your project. Since you have trouble with the non-DSP/BIOS examples, you should start using DSP/BIOS. Once you become proficient at using the C6474, you will find that DSP/BIOS stays out of your way once your system is running, unless you specifically choose to use the helpful features of DSP/BIOS.

    In addition to the documentation and videos you have already used, there is additional training material on the TI Wiki Pages and TI.com. Since the current training features have not helped you so far, you should consider attending one of our live training classes, in particular the C6000 Embedded Design Workshop using SYS/BIOS for which you can find information starting here.
