(I find no forum for asking embedded software questions that aren't about Linux or TI-provided codecs. I've been writing embedded software for other procs for over 20 years.)
On a DM6467T, I am developing a single-purpose DSP application (video analytics). It's a box that sits between a camera and a monitor. I don't otherwise need the overhead of an OS. I do want to be able to use USB, Ethernet, and RS-232 (UART).
QUESTION:
- Is there any foundation or baseline software to help with this?
CONSIDERATIONS (comments welcome):
- USB - I probably only need to be a USB client, to download snapshots to a PC, and *perhaps* to monitor video over USB. With microprocessor products I've developed in the past, the outboard USB chip handled all of that and I only needed trivial firmware in my micro. Definitely no OS was required. In the event I need to be a USB host, such as printing snapshots to a printer, I know things are more complicated. Still, do I need an OS. Or is it simple? Or is there example code somewhere to accomplish this?
- Ethernet - It would be nice to replace my monitor with a PC watching video over IP. Do I need an OS? Or is it simple? Or is there example code somewhere to accomplish this?
- RS-232 (UART) - This should definitely be simple, so I can't imagine I need an OS for this. I need to output some control commands to the camera and monitor between which my box is attached.
Thanks
