BeagleBoard/DSP Howto - Helps are needed

Hello!

Favor,

I had to take down the link due to request from TI. Apparently it contained
the DSP firmware which were not re-distributable. I am involved some other
work these days. Please give couple of days time to upload the root file
system without the TI proprietary DSP firmwares.

Who contacted you?

[...]

It was me.

The thing is the evaluation firmware for DSP Bridge / OpenMAX cannot
be redistributed without the installer. We thanked Jesslyn for the
effort and requested some time while we figure a way to freely
distribute those sample binaries just like that.

Just to be clear, it's more than OK to redistribute the installer, but
the binaries within (i.e. *.dll64P, baseimage.dof, etc.) cannot be
redistributed.

Thanks and greetings!

Yes, that was my understanding, but I thought the same situation
applies for the dsp-link binaries which apparently are distributed in
Angstrom images.

hi.
    Maybe these question looks like silly, however , forgive me please since I know little about DSP. 
Especially, how it help ARM core to process the heavy things about media decoding/coding, or other heavy stuff things. 

    I followed this link [https://gstreamer.ti.com/gf/project/gstreamer_ti/wiki/?pagename=GettingStarted](https://gstreamer.ti.com/gf/project/gstreamer_ti/wiki/?pagename=GettingStarted)
to setup the Beagle/DSP. But I encounter with some issues.

In the README.txt, it wrote:

- The DVSDK for the platform is installed on the Linux host.  DVSDK versions
  earlier than 1.30 are not supported.

--------->>Can anyone show me the download url of the right DVSDK for using?

what's this DVSDK for? Does it include arm cross compiler or DSP cross compiler?

- The DVSDK is configured to use the Linux kernel provided by the LSP package
  associated with the DVSDK being used.
- DMAI 1.16 or later is installed on the Linux host for DaVinci targets.

  DMAI 1.20 or later is required for OMAP35xx targets.  This DMAI version is
  included with DVSDK 3.00.
---------->> where can I download the DMAI? if it's include in the DVSDK3.00, I'd prefer to download DVSDK3.00,

and where can I get that?

Is there anyone who had followed this WiKi to enable Beagle/DSP, please do me a favor.

with highly appreciated!

 thanks.

I've created a console image with the corresponding uImage kernel:

You just need to put the DSP binaries on /lib/dsp from tiopenmax[1]
and you are ready to roll.

It cannot get any easier than that.

Hello Felipe,

Thanks for following up this thread.

I already got ping.out working with Jesslyn's package. I replied to
this thread with the procedures I did on April 2nd, but the reply
hasn't shown up. It may be because I modified the subject.

Thanks to the helps from all the people, specially to Jesslyn and you.
I stepped out my first step. The next step is to compile my DSP
appliactions. I believe I will come back soon with questions.

Thank you again.

Best regards,

Paul

My SD card stops working maybe due to too many re-writes. I need to
get a new SD card. So I will update later, sorry.

Thats why I recommended root file system on NFS.

regards

Jesslyn
