Need some quick direction for a good start with DSP/Linux app.

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L138

Hi,

I'm working on a custom board based on omap-l138.

So far I've got everything working from u-boot to linux, even dsplink examples works.

No I'm looking at doing some DSP code.

My experience with TI dsp is 0 :)

Reading the doc i've seen a lot of development possibilty.

My needs are as follow:

- A DSP code running on the DSP send get data from UPP, process it, send back some result to Linux via DSP link.

So

1/ I need to choose either bare DSP programming, DSP/BIOS 5.xx, SYS/BIOS 6.xx

I prefer using a real time os if possible, which one should I choose 5.XX or 6.XX? Is DSPLink compatible with 6.XX? What is not? Is it a good move to switch to bios 6.XX now?

2/ To use UPP I'm reading code given in bios PSP. These examples use Bare metal DSP programming. Still I suppose I will need to use the same code with a BIOS, right?

3/ Looking URL: http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/index.html, Does IPC package is included in DSP bios 5.XX and/or DSP bios 6.XX?

It seems DSP6.XX include it but not sure it is the same.

4/ There is some DSP tools utilities (RTA module etc...) for DSP bios 5.XX, does Sys/bios 6.XX include it?

 

I know this is newbies questions, but it will help me a lot clean up my head with all these software packages.

Thx for your help!

Regards.
