Regarding Data Pipes/SIO in DSP/BIOS

Started by veeresh8210 April 14, 2005


Hi.,

This question is regarding the Data pipes/SIO feature of the
DSP/BIOS.I have used limited features of the DSP/BIOS. I wanted to
know in what way PIPES are better than DMA/EDMA . Also I wanted to
know in which scenarios we can use PIPES/SIO.

With Best Regards
Veeresh




Hi
I have not used this a lot but
one real-time application that I know of is frame prcessing (say fft of
a frame of data with windowing) It seems to be a good alternative to
the "triple buffering technique" (3 buffers for input, output and
intermediate for processing)that uses EDM/DMA to transfer data.
I guess data pipes with some SW interrupt management would make things
faster.
