as a newbie in programming complex hardware devices, like DSP and/or ARM processors i only used the CodeComposerStudio by now, to acces the DSP-core of the OMAP-L137/TMS320C6747 FP Starter Kit and tried to find out how programming it can be done, by taking looks at the example-codes available.
The hardware is supposed to be running several self-programmed algorithms, working with audio-input data. Getting this Audiodata into the DSP was quiet easy, because an example-Code is dealing with this Topic. In order to switch between the different algorithms, and to parametrize these Algorithms i am supposed to access the Board via network (TCP-Sockets).
I found an example-Code, sending and receiving Data via the network-ports of the board, using only the DSP-Core functionalities, which is called emac-loopback. Unfortunately the sourcecode of this test seems not as self-explaining as the other test-Codes. (even hard to call the other examples this way, if you never had to deal with such an architecture) But as far as i understood this example, it does not provide any features of the TCP/IP-Protocol.
Is it possible to send/receive data via Network using TCP-Sockets without programming the ARM-Core? Will i have to install the Linux-SDK to do so, using the delivered monta-vista on the SD-card, or is it possible to program the arm with the help of CodeComposerStudio (without using the embedded Linux) in order to get Network access?
In each case i would be interested in a test-program, like the one mentioned previously, to get an Idea of how the network could be accessed.
Or is there any document, that explains how programming the whole board works (or in especially the network-functionality... not talking of documentations what hardware has which registers, more like an document that could be called "how to start programming the OMAP L137", i read "OMAP and DaVinci Software for dummies" but this focusses more on concepts, and not on what really has to be programmed to get some functionalities running.
best regards
Rico
