Any tutorials offered by TI on writing programs for the DSP ?

Max14907

I am interested in writing an algorithm which will analyze each input frame pixel by pixel, for e.g., let's say calculate the average Y values (brightness)

of the frame. What I have in mind is to have a loop:

Loop (on the arn processor):

a) read frame 1 (e.g. the demo code of encodedecode has a capture which reads frame)

b) analyze frame 1---><I want to do this on the DSP. So, I will send this frame off to DSP processor while I go on to display)

c) display frame 1

end loop (read next frame)

How do I get started on step b) ? Is there any hands-on face-to-face tutorial offered by TI, in Dallas especially, for this ? I suppose it will be akin to writing

a codec (analytics?).

Platform is EVM DM6467 board.

I have studied and understood the demo software that is provided by TI, and also tweaked and "played" with it(e.g. encodedecode etc.); so that's my knowledge level in

programming.

any help deeply appreciated,

Hi Max,

TI provides training for its most of the Devices. It usually conducts regular seminars for general purpose DSP programming training for example c6000 training. It also offers specialized training for specific platforms as well.

Please check in the following link for a list of trainings.

To add to Pankaj comments, there are three workshops you will find in our training site which PanKaj pointed to that may be of particular interest to you

1) TMS320C6000™ DSP Optimization Workshop will give you an understading of the DSP core architectures and will show you how to use this knowledge along with TI tools to optimize algorithms on our DSP cores. This will include labs where you will see first hand gradual optimization steps as you go from lab to lab and used to knowledge gained in the corresponding lecture.

2) TMS320C64x+™ DSP System Integration Workshop using DSP/BIOS DSP/BIOS is the Operating System most commonly used on our DSP cores and this class will give you a good introduction into the important features of this OS to keep in mind.

3) DaVinci/OMAP System Integration Workshop using Linux This is very relevant to DM6467 and will give you a good overview of the software architecture including codec engine and how to write algorithms compatible with our DM6467 software framework.

I have taken all of the above and thought they were quite good.

Hello,

I am also new to DSP programming so as an learning exercise would like to work upon Max's problem. Could anybody please send me the path of encodedecode demo code that Max is referring to?

I have CCS v3.3.

Sorry for asking foolish question but I am keen on studying it.

Many thanks

Pavan
