Video streaming with TMS320C6670

Hello,

I want to stream video HD from a camera to dsp for compressing data and then transfer it to another over Ethernet

I have an EVM C6670LE. I'm new to this world so that I have some basic questions:

1. Which connector should I use to retrieve video data HD (720p) or full HD (1080p) (Gb Ethernet 1Gbs/ PCIe 2.5Gbs/ Hyperlink ?) Or can you suggest me a converter? like HDMI to Ethernet or HDMI to hyperlink?

2. Can someone give me a demo video streaming on C6670? MCSDK Video only has demo version for C6678

  • Welcome to the TI E2E forum. I hope you will find many good answers here and in the TI.com documents and in the TI Wiki Pages (for processor issues). Be sure to search those for helpful information and to browse for the questions others may have asked on similar topics (e2e.ti.com). Please read all the links below my signature.

    We will get back to you on the above query shortly. Thank you for your patience.

    The MCSDK video package was designed for C6678 platform. Some changes might need to be done in order to use another platform. Please check Readme.txt for more details. Also please check inside the linker.cmd how the system memory map is specified. You might need to do some changes there in order to match with your platform.

  • Hi Raja,
    Can you explain me more.
    At first, I cannot import demo project to my CCS version 5 to rebuild it :(
    I've tried to fix some environment variables, but still fail to build.

    "Buildfile generation error occurred..
    This project was created using a version of Code Generation tools that is not currently installed: null [C6000]. Please install the Code Generation tools of this version, or migrate the project to one of the supported versions.
    Build stopped.."
    How can I migrate demo project to my current Code generation tools? (my current version is 7.2)
  • Hi Duc, you can change compiler version in you project properties. On top of your project, Right click -> Properties -> General -> Compiler version.

    However, it is usually better to keep versions used for testing which are mentioned in codecs UserGuide

    Example from C66x_h264hpvenc_01_00_03_00_ELF\packages\ti\sdo\codecs\h264hpvenc\Docs\H264_Encoder_C6678_UserGuide.pdf we have:

    This version of the codec has been validated with XDAIS tools containing IVIDENC2 interface version

    The version of the XDAIS tools required is 7.23.00.06

    The version of the XDC tools required is 3.25.03.72

    The version of the BIOS tools required is 6.35.04.50

    The version of the Code Generation tools required is 7.4.6

    The version of Framework Components required is 3.23.02.16

    The version of EDMA low-level driver required is 2.11.05.02

    The version of IPC tools required is 1.25.03.15

    Thank you,

    Paula
