DSP/BIOS pipes

Started by thamiral July 14, 2004
Hello,

I have just started to use the DSK6713 and am currently looking at
the features offered by the DSP/BIOS.

One of the things I fail to understand is why the use of PIPES is
encouraged to facilitate communication of Block data, between a
peripheral (eg. A/D Converter) and its corresponding hardware
interrupt. Wouldn't it be far better (with respect to latency and
code size) to use some sort of a Ping pong buffer scheme which
utilizes EDMA to fill up an array in memory with help from the
Linking feature that EDMA provides?

Thanks,

Sincerely,

Taha
