video Encoder/Decoder packages on omap3530

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP3530

hi, everyone

I'm using omap3530 beagle board. I wonder whether there are some available video encoder and decoder packages which can run on the omap3530 DSP side?

Because I want the applications running on the ARM side to use codecs on the DSP side by means of the Codec Engine framework, If there are already some codecs available, I think I can focus on the applications and put the encode/decode tasks on the DSP by correctly configure the codec server as the Codec Engine user's guide said.

Thanks!

  • The codec packages and software stacks that TI provides are all built around the Mistral EVM as opposed to the Beagle Board, so though you can find codec packages here, they would need some work to function on Beagle Board. I believe that most of codec engine can be used on the Beagle though you probably want to look through the Beagle community discussions to see what you can do.

  • Thank you for you suggestion. You are correct, I did some experiments with the example codecs contained in the Codec Engine 2.20.01 to get familiar with the whole framework, and they can run smoothly on Beagle.However, the more functional codecs listed on the website you mentioned above are offered as Object Code, I think it somewhat difficult to make them fit into the Beagle. I'd like to look through the Beagle community to get some info.

     I have another question,  what about putting the encode/decode tasks all on the ARM side rather than use the codec engine framework? Is it feasible? Thank you again for your help.
