Recovering data (TMS320DM642)

Hi,

Soon i will implement a video compression algorithm on DM642.

I'd like to recover the compressed data, which will be stored in SDRAM, in
order to be able to replay the video on the PC.

Can you tell me if Code Composer allows us to recover data stored in
external memory and to save them in a file on the PC ?

Does RTDX allow to do that ?

Could you point me to some example codes ?

Thanks again for your help.

The easiest way to save target data is to use the stdio library.
fopen, fwrite, etc, let the target open and manipulate files on
the host's disk.

Thanks Mark.

The question is how will I be able to replay the compressed video ? The
data will be saved in a file but it won't be a binary file ?!

Can someone give me an idea ?

Thanks.

It will be in whatever format you fwrite it in.

If you are simply dumping your ram to disk as an image, then you will
have to write something on the PC side to play that directly, or
translate it into something an existing video player can support.  Or
you can do the translation in the DSP and write the file in a standard
video format.
