DM8127 - what code is running on the DSP C674x by default?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320DM8127

We are working on the APPRO camera built with the TMS320DM8127.

I've copied the diagram and part of the message from http://e2e.ti.com/support/dsp/davinci_digital_media_processors/f/100/t/264285.aspx

step3:

after VPSS_M3, data flow can be divided two parts.

  1. yuv420sp given to VIDEO_M3 for encoder like H264 or JPEG,MPEG4.
  2. data given to DSP_C674x for video analytics.

===========================================================================================

I still have the following questions for which I've searched for answers:

  1. What is running on the C674x by default? Is it active on power-up of the APPRO evaluation camera?
  2. How do I write code to the DSP?
  3. If it's not running, how do I allow the DSP to run and accept images?
  4. How are output from imaging functions received on the ARM? I understand that MessageQs are used. Is this correct?
  5. Are there any examples with Linux code for the ARM and C code for the DSP?

Thanks,

Mechi
