DM3730 Motion Estimation (iME) coprocessor

Valentin Yakovenkov

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DM3730

Hello!

Are there any technical documents, libraries and source codes to use the iME coprocessor in own video codec?

I can't find any information, but TI provides h.264 codecs that use them. So how can I get this documentation?

Hi Valentin,

Motion estimation module is part of the C64x+ DSP and I recommend you to read the following articles:

Tsvetolin, thank you for pointing the interesting docs.

But as I've understood DM3730 has hardware Motion Estimation coprocessor (iME). Are there any software libraries to communicate it from the DSP core?

I believe that iME coprocessor can do it task in parallel with the C64x+ core.
