RTOS/TMS320C6678: How to input an image

user5916633

Part Number: TMS320C6678

Tool/software: TI-RTOS

Hi,

I am working on a real-time processing project using TMS320C6678L DSP. I am doing a real-time OFDM system and my input data will be an image file (i.e .jpg, .png, etc) but I do not know a direct function in Code Composer Studio to read the image and convert it to its binary form. Can you recommend any method or implementation to input the binary data of an image? thank you very much!

Hello,
CCS only has support for viewing image data already in a binary format (via the Image Analyzer view). You would need to convert the data to binary using some other method.

Thanks

If I've converted the image to its binary data using Matlab, how can I send this data to CCS? Thanks!

It depends on the version of CCS. CCSv3 had tight integration with Matlab. CCSv4 and greater, not as much:

Regardless of the CCS version, you can always load the binary to memory manually. In CCSv3, it would be with the MemDump utility. With more recent versions of CCS, you can do this from the Memory Browser view

Thanks

hi,
I am using CCSv5 and what I would particularly want to do is to convert an image to its binary using Matlab then transmit this data to CCS. I've read about using serial communication with the use of the RS232 but I am not quite familiar protocol. if you have any readings about this protocol I would gladly want to have that or if you know other method you can suggest it. thank you so much Ki!

The technique I mentioned with the memory browser view is for a JTAG connection. I don't have much experience with your device with a serial connection. This is a question best asked to the device experts. I will bring it to their attention.

Thanks

Actually, I suggest you start a new thread since your last question has deviated from the original subject. This will make things easier for everyone.

I will close this thread
