When you leave the workshop, you should be able to… Describe the basic silicon features and options of the TI high-performance ARM and ARM+DSP processors Draw a diagram describing the building blocks used in TI’s ARM+DSP foundation software Build a Linux application which uses: The audio and video Linux drivers provided in the Linux distribution Invoke local (ARM-based) and remote (DSP-based) signal processing algorithms via Codec Engine (VISA API) Create the building-blocks used by the Codec Engine: Use gMake & Configuro to build a signal processing Engine and DSP Server Algorithms/Codecs: Describe the xDM/xDAIS API’s used to access algorithms Write an algorithm following the XDM API Tools: Setup the DVEVM hardware tool by configuring various U-Boot parameters DM644x DaVinci Workshop - Introduction 0 - 5 Where To Get Additional Information/Training? Where To Get Additional Information/Training? Why Don’t We Cover Everything? • In 4 days, it is impossible to cover everything. However, we do cover about an equivalent of a college semester course on the DM644x. • We provide the following lists as a starting place for additional information.
