GenServer support for BIOS6.0

Steve Preissig

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP3530, SYSBIOS

I have a customer developing OMAP3530 application using BIOS6 and CCS4

The GenServer documentation on the wiki indicates that it generates BIOS 5.31 compatible code. Is there a date for the GenServer tool to generate BIOS6 compatible code? What is the recommended path for developing a custom server today for someone who will be using BIOS6?

    The 'suitable for external forums' reply is:

    We don't yet have 'remote' Codec Engine support for BIOS 6-based systems.  We're planning to support that in a future Codec Engine 3.x release stream that's currently under development.

    The 'suitable for internal forums' reply (with my tongue firmly in cheek, as I know this is an external forum!), is:

    BIOS 6 'remote' Codec Engine implies the new SysLink-based stack (SysLink is the next gen of DSP Link) that's still under development.  Although we have internal EAs available on OMAP3, we won't have a OMAP3/BIOS6/SysLink/CE GA release for the mass market until [likely] Q1 2011.

    So what options do they have _right now_?  Frankly, I'm not even sure DSP Link supports BIOS 6 on OMAP3 (does it?).  So I'm not sure they have much choice other than to use BIOS 5 and existing CE 2.x releases based on DSP Link 1.6x.  Or create their own IPC (or port DSP Link 1.6!) to work between the ARM and BIOS 6-based DSP themselves, and not use Codec Engine.

    Shawn,

    Codec Engine (CE) 3.x use Sysbios 6.x which use *.cfg files.  Codec Engine 2.x DSP/BIOS 5.x which use *.tcf file.  Depending on the device your are using, you may have to choose one or the other.  In some cases, both DSP/BIOS and Sysbios are supported.

    Info on Sysbios and DSP/BIOS can be found:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SYS/BIOS

    BTW:  For future reference, creating a new post for your question will give it more visibility particularly if the original post has been answered.  This ensure that you question will be answered more promptly.

    thanks!

    Are there some examples that  how to development of sys/bios based on EVM8168?

    My first exposure codec engine, do not know how to develop, especially configured sys / bios part, and how to generate a server, these example, thank you very much!
