about how to port mpeg4 codec to DM6446 DSP?



Hello everybody,
I would like to have some indication about the
implementation of a MPEG4 codec on DM6446 DSP.
I think I will start my job from XVID codec, is there
someone that can evaluate the complexity of this task?
How many month can I need to accomplish this task (I'm
not a super expert DSP engineer)? How to convert XVID codec code to CCS?
Any suggestion/advice will be appreciated.
Thanks a lot also for any link that can provide me some hint.

Thanks,
Jeff
  • Jeff,

    This is really a hard thing to estimate as it depends a great deal on your level of expetise with the tools, dsp environment, starting reference code (not real familiar w/ XVID so hard to judge).  If I had to do it, it would probrably take me over a year.  Have you tried talking to some of our third parties that may be able to customize a codec for you to meet your needs (assuming TI provided one do not)?

  • Juan,

    Thanks for your reply. Could you please show me some documents about how to port algorithms code(such like matlab etcs)  to DSP using CCS?

    Thanks a lot!

    Jeff

  • Jeff,

    We really do not support matlab directly; you will need to work with Mathworks for support on our DSPs.  They are one of our third parties and I have seen their booth in many TI conferences so I am pretty sure they have solutions they can discuss with you.

    We do include a few examples with source code under our codec engine directory in our DVSDK software install; these include examples on dummy codecs (show typical interaction with framework components), corresponding servers, and correspondign Linux applications.
