[FAQ] TDA2x: What are the steps to create our own custom usecase containing custom Algorithm plugin in Vision SDK bios?

Hi,

• If you are new to the vision SDK framework architecture we recommend to go through the below video tutorial
  • https://training.ti.com/introduction-processor-sdk-vision?context=1137175-1139569-1136715
  • https://training.ti.com/getting-started-processor-sdk-vision?context=1137175-1139569-1136716
  • https://training.ti.com/start-development-processor-sdk-vision?context=1137175-1139569-1136717

• Refer to the below documents for creating new usecase & Algorithm plugin
  • file: vision_sdk/docs/FeatureSpecificUserGuides/VisionSDK_DevelopmentGuide.pdf (Chapter 2: Use Case Development, Chapter 4.3: Algorithm Link Plug-In Development, Chapter 4.4: Algorithm Link Plug-In Integration )
  • file: vision_sdk/docs/FeatureSpecificUserGuides/VisionSDK_UserGuide_UsecaseGen.pdf (Chapter 3: Generating Use-Case files)
  • file: vision_sdk/docs/FeatureSpecificUserGuides/VisionSDK_Overview_UsecaseGen.pdf
  • file: vision_sdk/docs/FeatureSpecificUserGuides/VisionSDK_UserGuide_BuildSystem.pdf (Chapter 6: Adding new use-cases, algplugins to build)

• Refer the below example patch file changes as a reference

0001-Example-custom-use-case-custom-alg-plugin-implementa.zip

In this example, the created custom usecase chain is : Capture -> Alg_MyFrameCopy (DSP1) -> Display_Video 

In the above chain contain the "Alg_MyFrameCopy" custom Algorithm plugin.

• Follow the below steps to test the example usecase in the vision SDK

cd $(INSTALL_DIR)/vision_sdk
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git am 0001-Example-custom-use-case-custom-alg-plugin-implementa.patch

• Rebuild the code & run the demo with new appimage (select the single camera usecase from the menu then press the option 'Q' or 'q' to run this custom usecase)

Thanks
