Hello,
I'm looking for a complete solution that would satisfy my requirements. I've spent lots of time reading the documentation available on the TI web page but I'm sitll unsure what would be the best for my application. Please have a look at the requirements and suggest a feasible configuration. Requirements:
- input for one raw hdmi video stream (>=720i), might be using additional hdmi receiver IC
- a couple of motion tracking, floating-point algorithms processing the hd video stream at >=10fps; no need for video encoding, decoding, streaming, audio processing, etc
- a couple of additional floating-point algorithms running in parallel. These algorithms do not have high requirements, they can be performed on any fixed-point 16Mhz 8bit uC
- temp range at least -20 to +50
- at least one of the following interfaces: i2c; serial; spi
- combined estimated price possibly low
- power consumption doesn't matter
- available low-cost (<=$500) development hardware
The main question would be which DSP is powerful enough to run the motion tracking algorithms at high fps and whether it's better to have a combined DSP + ARM core or separate subsystems since the computing power of an ARM might be excessive.
Thank you!
Best regards
Andrew
