AWR2944: Compression in DSP

Part Number: AWR2944


Hi TI Community, 

I am working on compression and decompression algorithms. My question here is, HWA generally performs compression and decompression. But can we perform them within DSP instead of using HWA? Can I get any reference code related to that.

thanks.

    Hi Sowbhagya,

    Please find my inputs regarding your questions as follows:

    • You can definitely perform the decompression or the compression on the DSP core as opposed to the HWA.
    • TI currently does not provide the source code for compression or decompression on the c66x as of now.
    • The compression/decompression algorithms (EGE and BFP) are quite generic with lots of resources describing the same on the web and you can implement the same for the DSP.
    • A huge drawback will be in terms of the time taken to perform the same on the DSP i.e. the DSP will take up much more cycles than the HWA.

    Let me know if you have any further questions.

    Regards,

    Kaushik
