GUI Composer with C55x

Roland Welte
Intellectual 450 points


- Can I use GUI Composer with a C55x based hardware and software that runs DSP/BIOS?

- If yes, is the exchange of visualization and control data between the DSP and the GUI application working in real-time, meaning that it does not stop or slow down execution of DSP code? Or in other words, would GUI Composer replace legacy RTDX?

- I see that there are LineGraph, ScalarLineGraph and ScatterPlot widgets. How about FFT and Eye Diagram displays?

Many thanks for helping,

Roland

    Roland,

    If you are planning on using the GUI widgets within CCS then you should be ok.  If you try to export it to a standalone app then it will fail as we don't include C55x support in the deployable GUI composer runtime.

    C55x supports real-time accesses over JTAG so that is what it would use for data transfer.  On C55x I think this should use empty slots in the pipeline to do the transfers however you could change that to "stall" the CPU to do it.

    We do not have FFT or Eye diagram widgets right now.

    Regards,

    John

    Many thanks for your info John.

    But it seems to work also for a standalone app. What I had to do is the following (my target is a C5510A processor):

    - create a folder 'devices' containing file 'c5510A.xml' (found in ti/ccsv6/ccs_base/common/targetdb/devices) in my GUI folder that I have put into folder ti/guicomposer/webapps.

    - copy file TMS320C5510A.ccxml (found in my project_loc/targetConfigs) into my GUI folder within folder ti/guicomposer/webapps and rename it to appConfig.ccxml.

    I urge you to provide graphs as they are available in legacy CCS versions, e.g. CCS v3.3, including all their very useful properties. The currently available properties of the LineGraph widget in GUI Composer are rather arcane and their behavior seems unpredictable. It would be nice, for instance, if the x-axis could be labeled in time units for a given sampling frequency and not just in samples. You guys should not reinvent the wheel and start with a clean sheet ;-). It's all been done properly before in the legacy CCS versions. Just copy from there.

    Thanks for listening. Have a great weekend,

    Roland
