OMAP DSP side software tools help

Dave Winder10933

All the online resources seem great if you are using a TI EVM and Codec Engine, but I'm not and I am going nuts trying to figure out what pieces I need in any other context.

My project is using an OMAP 3530 running Threadex on the ARM.  DSP Link is being ported to Threadex.

What I want to do is only use the framework components  adn DSP Link to implement XDAIS compliant codecs, but I don't want all the added capability of the Codec Engine layer.  And the aRM side guys don't want to port CE to Threadex if its not really needed.

So, I found the latest CE download for windows, and looking at the validation section in the release notes, I can determine the latest and greatest compatible pieces.  I can download all these.

My questions are this:  Is this a viable approach?      Assuming so, where do I extract the FC to on my directory structure. I can not find any recommendation.  Does it matter?  Do I just set up a convention and then fix a PATH command later?

Bear with me if this all seems too obvious. Trying to get up to speed in a hurry.

TIA

Dave

    Yes, it is feasible to use framework components without codec engine; unfortunately, there are not very explicit examples or documentation on how to do this.  You will find some docs regarding the framework component pieces along with the software installation, and even some exmaples on how to use specific pieces of the framework components, but no complete example of a codec to solely uses framework components without the codec engine. 

    Also, please note that it does not really matter what directory you install framework components in, so long as the PATH is defined accordingly. 

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks Juan,

    thats kind of what I thought.  that helps.

    what I downloaded is the following, based on the latest CE (even though I'm not doing CE, I figure it tells me compatibilities)

    FC  2.23.01
    >     includes  XDAIS  
    >                   EDMA3   
    > XDC Tools  3.10.03
    > DSP/BIOS   5.33.04   (CE release notes actually list 5.33.03 but this is the latest version)
    > C6000 Codegen  6.1.9   (Do i even need this if not doing CE?)
