Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TDA4VM, AM69A
Tool/software:
Hello,
We are currently evaluating the possibility of using the C7x DSP cores in the TDA4VM, AM67A, or AM69A SoC for real-time control of a power converter (switching at 10 kHz, cycle period = 100 µs). The control will be based on a custom Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithm written in C, as well as a Simulink model that will be compiled to C code for deployment.
Could someone please confirm with 100% certainty if the C7x DSPs are fully available for running custom user code (either written in C or compiled from Simulink) without any restrictions or special licensing requirements? Specifically:
- Are the C7x DSPs fully accessible for running custom code independently of the AI workloads and AI frameworks (such as the TI AI toolkit)?
- Are there any restrictions or limitations in terms of the DSP’s resources when used for non-AI tasks, such as real-time control or custom algorithm execution?
- Is it possible to configure the TDA4VM, AM67A, or AM69A SoC to run real-time control algorithms with full access to the C7x DSPs, while ensuring no interference from other processing workloads (e.g., AI, Linux tasks)?
Best regards,
