How do I create video overlays using TMS320DM6437

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320DM6437, CCSTUDIO

Hi I am totally new to digital signal processors. I have been given TMS320DM6437 kit, can I use this to create video processing?

 

My project needs to see the speed of my EVALBOT(a camera is mounted on the EVALBOT) moving, therefore creating a display of speed on the output is part of my requirements.

 

Appreciate any advice and insights

Jeremy

    Jeremy,

    Yes, the DM6437 can create video processing.  Please check our User Manual and sample code on our product folder.

    Hi there, currently i do not have a user manual.. how can i start looking at the sample codes? is there a guide online which i can take a look?

    In order to do an overlay, do i need to connect an ethernet cable to the ethernet port of my workstation? What is the difference in the connectivity of usb and ethernet cable?

    Hi viet,

    thanks for your help, i have already downloaded the two demo projects. However, i can't seem to find the pjt file for the universal canny project. My current dvsdk folder is C:/dvsdk_1_00_00_19 which i do not think is supported by universal canny project?

    nevertheless, i downloaded the "edge" demo and opened the project file. I tried to build all but i get these errors:

    "app_control.c", line 40: fatal error: could not open source file "evmdm6437.h"

    "app_main.c", line 36: fatal error: could not open source file "evmdm6437.h"

    "app_ndk.c", line 37: fatal error: could not open source file "evmdm6437.h"

    "app_rpcs.c", line 32: fatal error: could not open source file "evmdm6437.h"

    what seems to be wrong?

    also, when i opened the "edge" demo project, i get this message:

    CCS cannot find file : "C:\CCStudio_v3.3\boards\evmdm6437_v1\lib\evmdm6437bsl.lib"

    Just a quick update,

    I set environment variables

    BSL_EVMDM6437_INSTALLDIR  to C:\CCStudio_v3.3\boards\evmdm6437_v2\include where my evmd6437.h resides. However, i still get the error when rebuilding the project file.

    Any idea?

    EDIT: just another question, which file actually does the video overlays?
