Hello to all.
My name is Huat, and I wish to design a
fingerprint authentication system using
TMS320C6416.
I am totally a beginner in DSP.
May I have some advice regarding the feasibility
to implement a fingerprint authentication on
TMS320C6416 ?
I noticed a type-A usb port on the device. After
a brief study on the manual,I knew that it is
for communication with PC and for downloading
program.
May I know that is it possible to use this usb
port for data acquisition from my fingerprint
scanner ? If so, may I request for the source
code ?
Thanks
Best regards.
I need some advice for TMS320C6416

The choice of the tool- C6416DSK for this is not the most appropriate.
TI had, if not has, another tool in the market place called FADT:
http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/tmdsfdcafs86.html
That one has AuthenTec AFS8600 sensor built into it and if memory
serves me right, it has some bundled softwares that you can base for
your own development.
The only reason that you will not use this tool for your purpose is
that you want to build your own hardware system,sensor interface etc.
from ground up. Is that the case?

gavinngan -
I cannot access old messages from my current location and the old message
thread is not attached.
What is the hardware and I/O that is on your board??
Do you currently have a specific fingerprint scanner or or you trying to
identify one to use??
I apologize if you have answered this previously.

Thanks so much, Bhoosan.
That's correct.
I had headache to build a hardware interface by myself.
But, I guess I will have to take risk and stay using this device. In fact, this is the only device i can borrow from my school laboratory.
I have been surfing on the net for solutions. Is that the only way to continue is to buy a USB daughter card ?
Or, maybe i can buy a cheaper converter cable to plug my fingerprint scanner into that USB port on board ? (for storing image captured by my scanner?)
That's correct.
I had headache to build a hardware interface by myself.
But, I guess I will have to take risk and stay using this device. In fact, this is the only device i can borrow from my school laboratory.

Or, maybe i can buy a cheaper converter cable to plug my fingerprint scanner into that USB port on board ? (for storing image captured by my scanner?)

The 'TMS320C6416 DSP chip' is very capable of fingerprint
authentication [and performing 'several other things at the same
time'.

The 'TMS320C6416 device' does not have a USB port. The 'TMS320C6416
DSK *board*' does have a USB port.

The documentation is correct. The USB port is for program download
and CCS control of the target. It is not possible to use this port
for other purposes. The USB port is not connected to the I/O of the
TMS320C6416.
You can refer to the archives for references to add-on USB boards such
as the one sold by Avnet.

The source code for the USB port control is proprietary to the board
manufacturer.
