What's the usecase for the Cortex-M4s? Is it smart enough to off-load non-computationally intensive work to the 16-bit chips for "low power", or are they serving some other purpose?
- fit2rule 10y agoCODEC's, mostly .. but in this scene (disclaimer: longstanding Pandora user, GP2X before that) you can never be sure just what someone will do with it .. graphics driver, OpenGL accelerator, synth engine, etc. There really are some genius hackers in this crowd - having it onboard means someone will do something amazing with it.
- mojoB 10y agoAs mentioned in the sibling, media codec is the nominal case. They are included in the SOC, not something specific to this project. Being ARM Cortex processors, they are 32 bit. Allocate them a chunk of RAM, upload a program and set them running. TI has a driver infrastructure and sample gstreamer CODECs. http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/OMAP5_GLSDK_Software_Developers_Guide#RPMsg_client_sample_application http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/OMAP5_GLSDK_Software...
