Reference frameworks

Hi,

I am currently working on porting an old code to a newer DSP C6657. The old code makes several references to RF5 and especially intercell communication interface, and headers such as icell.h etc. Since I couldn't find any of those, Can I get some guidelines about how to use the new framework components to do this task. Which areas I should look out for and the newer files required for that?

Thanks,

Kedar

    Kedar,

    What are the algorithm and the runtime environment and framework on your "old" processor? The encapsulation and communication framework for the C6657 will be dependent on the runtime and can include OpenMP, OpenMX, XDAIS, etc.

    You can find the icell.h file at different locations on the web, for example: http://my.fit.edu/~vkepuska/ece3551/TI%20Tutorial/DSP%20Code%20for%20DSK6416/Chapter%2021%20-%20RF3_XDAIS/include/icell.h I would expect that any .h files to build your previous version could be found in the source tree of either the application/algorithm software or the framework software.

    Kind regards

    The older processor was 6726. I got hold of older header files. but my question was is there a way by which I can do the these tasks, with some modifications from the newer framework, as the older code is being phased out?

    Kedar,

    The RF5 framework and related interface is pretty old (early 2000s) and I do not know if one can describe a 1:1 mapping to the current system. I would propose that you look in your latest MCSDK for your Keystone device and specifically at the SYS/BIOS and IPC directories under the doc sections. You will find documents there that describe the current framework and interprocessor communication method that replace most of the API in RF5 and previous IPC.

    Can you please look at those documents and let us know any specific areas where you need help?

    Kind regards
