Compiling MP3 (Build ID: 01.00.00.004) and AAC (Build ID: 01.00.00.003) codecs for C55x family, downloaded from TI site and intended
to be compiled with CCS v3.3, is not possible with Code Composer Studio v.4 , the version supplied with
TMS320VC5505 eZDSP USB STICK (files referenced in the source code are not found/are missing)
purchased in late March 2010.
I have downloaded MP3 (Build ID: 01.00.00.004) and AAC (Build ID: 01.00.00.003) codecs for C55x family from
http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/codecs/C55X_Audio/index_FDS.html
in order to test them on my TMS320VC5505 eZDSP USB STICK (possibly with the need of adaptation to the VC5505 board, as
codecs are intended for the TMS320C5505 EVM) .
I have installed CCS v.4 coming on a CD with the eZDSP USB STICK.
MP3 and AAC codecs are intended for CCS v 3.3, DSP/BIOSTM version 5.31, Code Generation Tool version 4.3.3.
To try compilation with CCS v 4, I have
i) installed MP3 codec (c55x_mp3dec_1_00_00_004_production.exe), unzipped the ZIP file that has been
placed in the installation directory;
ii) imported the MP3 codec sample project in CCS v4 (import legacy CCS v3. project); conversion have
taken place from v.3.3 to v. 4.
Tryng buiding the projecy, file "alg.h" to be included in alg_create.c and other files cannot be found.
alg_create.c
#include <alg.h>
Such a file (alg.h) does not exist nor in the MP3 project folder, not in the CCS v4 installation folder.
Today I have tried compiling the AAC codec to look if there was a similar problem, similar problems occurred also
for AAC. Moreover, importing the AAC project there was a message stating that macros being "imported" with AAC
project conflicted with some existing macros. This anyway may be another problem, at the moment
I cannot specify it in details, if I cannot solve it I will ask later.
I recognize that MP3 and AAC codecs are declared to be used with CCS v.3.3, but is it possibile to find
a working version for CCS v.4, supplied with the TMSVC5505 USB kit?
Thanks a lot, regards, Fab
