Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2530
we presently implement a system which can just capture audio data and compress it through speex codec ported over C55x DSP (speex@4kbps) the compressed data is sent over a 2.4GHz radio link which uses CC2530 SOC
now we are thinking to addup a camera to our device so that it can also capture a image or a frame on demand and send it over network so for that keeping the cost and power consumption in mind i was searching for a very low power microcontroller which can be interfaced to the CMOS image sensor
if say i have a camera module like Thoshibas 1.3Mp CMOS Image sensor which will give me jpeg out i should be able to take the complete image data by the time next frame is available,aproximately 33ms (assuming 30fps)
if i have 10KB of data to be collected in 33ms time i should be having a processor which is running very fastly to copy the data to a buffer and i would send it in chuncks over my low bandwidth wireless network
will i be able to acquire a jpeg frame and store it in buffer using my current C55x dsp working at 100Mhz clock ?
should i have to move to a high end DSP similar to davinci DM335x used by leopard board
my application needs only a photo to be send no video streaming is required which processor would suit my application
processors like OMAP,C64x+ are very high end i believe and more power consuming but i want a cheap solution to do this !!!
i need some answers from experts
