Tutorial to work directly on the DSP processor of Beagleboard

Hi All,

  I was looking for a step-by-step tutorial that can guide me on how
to work directly on the hardware level of the DSP processor within
OMAP3530.

  I intend to do video capturing and processing as quickly as
possible(from a cold start). Texas Instruments claims that OMAP3530
can capture images in 1/10th of a second. I would like to make use of
this instead of waiting for the Linux OS to boot(which currently is
less than 3 secs).

  It would be of great help if somebody can provide a tutorial to work
with code composer studio and beagleboard.

Thanks in advance,

Vinay.

When reading on capturing images, make sure you understand the difference between capturing an image over a USB port, the only way currently to do it on the Beagle, and capturing an image over the native camera port, currently not available on the Beagle, but is available on some of the other boards.

Hi,

  I plan to use a USB webcam to capture images, Yes I'm aware of
gumstix and leopard board which come with a camera module. I'm trying
out various alternatives, it would of great help if someone can guide
on how to work on the hardware level with the DSP processor.

Thanks,
