Can I run DM6167T software platform on OMAP L138

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAPL138

I've designed two video products and had crisscrossed success.  

1) My TMS320DM6167T project ran Arago linux, used software derived from their encodedecode sample, used the XDAIS codec interface for running code on the DSP, and ran VERY RELIABLY.   Power consumption was high, however, and battery life low.

2) Our OMP L138 product using a Critical Link SoM had lower power consumption and longer battery life, but the software platform remains chocked full of bugs and ill behavior, most originating from the Critical Link example software.

I would like to take my reliable software platform and run it on the lower power processor.  Any thoughts or advice?

    Hi Helmut,

    OMAPL138 device was not natively designed to be a video part so there may be some gaps in the video software support that you should study before undertaking this development. We did port the XDAIS encode/decode examples from XDAIS and multimedia codecs to this platform and do provide a codec server for this platform in the DVSDK that you may want to look at. All of these encode/decode algorithms are natively fixed point so they run on the C674x core of the OMAPL138 as it did on DM6467 but you may need to use the updated version of frameworks like codec engine/XDAIS/XDC tools to get this to work on OMAPL138.  Please note the DVSDK release available is a GA release which is no longer under active development so  there may not be any new releases for this software. Also the software kit is designed for the EVM and not for the critical link SOM.

    Regards,
