StarterWare vs SYS/BIOS for video application

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAPL138
Hello!
I currently purchased the OMAPL138-LCDK  and my target is to stream and then process video in raw format.I am new to embedded systems ,so I would like to ask if such an application can be developed using StarterWare, or should I built my application on SYS/BIOS?

Thank you in advance!

    Hi Katerina

    Already a sample VPIF loopback code is available in starterware. You can run it once to have a better understanding. It is always good to start from something which already works. Then you can modify/develop from there-on according to your own choice or requirement.

    When you install the omapl138 staterware, you will find this example at "C:\ti\OMAPL138_StarterWare_1_10_03_03\examples\lcdkOMAPL138\vpif_lcd_loopback"

    In addition to that, in general, 

    You may find VPIF source code drivers both in Starterware as well as SYS/BIOS.

    The BIOS PSP contains the software abstractions for onchip resources and plugs the same into SYS/BIOS operating system so as to enable and ease application development by providing suitably abstracted interfaces. ( The VPIF abstraction layer is included in BIOS PSP ).

    The Starterware contains abstractions for onchip resources which is independent of Operating system.

    you can choose starterware or SYS/BIOS depending on whether your application needs OS or not.

    Regards,

    Shankari.

    Hello Shankari!
    Thank you for your answer!
    In my first post I didn't make myself clear enough!
    My intention was to ask on which base (StarterWare - SYS/BIOS)  you would advise me to built an application that stream and process in real time raw video data .On which case do you think that such an application would be more easily and efficiently developed?
    Kind Regards,
