Which simulator to use ?

Abhishek Singh Sisodia

I want to run my codec on C64x+ core of DAVINCI C6467 . But before doing that i want to check the standalone codec on C64x+ simulator. In such a case which simulator to use. I am using CCS3.3 and the simulator which i selected is C64x+ cycle accurate simulator. Is my choice correct. Moreover what about the memory map? I want to use linker .cmd file. Even i can use bios too. So please guide me. I want my standalone codec to work fine on C64x+ core of DAVINCI c6467 once i make it XDIAS - XDM compliant and intgrate with codec engine. So I just want to simulate the codec on CCS 3.3.

I guess my ques is clear.

Please guide me...

Thanks

Yes, using the cycle accurate simulator is fine for testing standalone codecs.

Abhishek,

Since there is no C6467 device, you most likely are using the DM6467 device. When you confirm this, I will be glad to move this thread to the DaVinci Forum for you.

What do you wish to accomplish with the simulator? The DM6467 can do a lot of processing in just the C64x+ core, which is what it sounds like is all you want to do. But the DM6467 also has video accelerators and an ARM926, but these would not be supported on the C64x+ cycle accurate simulator. So I just wanted to understand what you hope to accomplish.

You will be able to get an accurate functioning simulation of your DSP-only codec with the "cycle-accurate simulator". For timing benchmarks, it will be best to use an EVM.

HI Randy

Thanks for you post. Sorry by mistake i have written C6467. Its DM6467 actually. I just wanted to use DSP core of DM6467 and for that i wanted to know that which simulator i can use. I got my answer. The "cycle accurate simulator" works well.

Thanks Once again

Abhishek
