Having to do a comparison and presentation on available high end chips and technologies for video / sensor networks. Have to process the video / sensor data at sensor location to minimise network traffic. Already working with Ti TMS320C6713(Lyrtech and DSK) , C6711DSK and Cradle CT3400 chips. Getting access to a C6455 device. Have to get a list together with basic feature set , ease of programmability etc for higher end dsps. TI - TMS320C6455 , http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/tms320c6455.html C6415/16 http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/tms320c6416t.html C6713 http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/tms320c6713.html (told to include OMAP) also Omap http://dspvillage.ti.com/docs/catalog/generation/overview.jhtml?templateId=5121&path=templatedata/cm/dspovw/data/omap_ovw Analog - Blackfin http://www.analog.com/processors/processors/blackfin/ Tiger sharc http://www.analog.com/processors/processors/tigersharc/ Freescale - Starcore http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/taxonomy.jsp?nodeId=0127958594 Cradle CT3400 http://www.cradle.com/products/sil_3400_family.shtml CT3600 http://www.cradle.com/products/sil_3600_family.shtml ST120/140 http://www.st.com/stonline/prodpres/dedicate/st100/st140/st140.htm STW2200 http://www.st.com/stonline/prodpres/dedicate/wsinfra/digital/dsp.htm Atmel AT572D http://www.atmel.com/products/Diopsis/ Powerpc from freescale and others with altivec http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/overview.jsp?code=DRPPCDUALCORE http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MPC7448&nodeId=0162468rH3bTdG8653 fpgas as coprocessors Xilinx http://www.origin.xilinx.com/products/silicon_solutions/fpgas/product_tables.htm#Spartan3?url=/products/tables/fpga.htm virtex2pro virtex4FX virtex4SX Altera stratix2 http://www.altera.com/products/devices/stratix2/st2-index.jsp stratix2 gx http://www.altera.com/products/devices/stratix2gx/s2gx-index.jsp Have I missed any chips that I should have a look at ? The boards/platforms we have/looking at use a dsp + soc or dsp + soc + video processor chip or dsp + fpga + soc. soc for networking stuff dsp for processing sensor data Thank you Alex Gibson

Hey Alex, I didn't see a video port on the 6455 or 6416. However, the DM642 does have three. This probably makes it a more suitable video processor. --Randy -- % Randy Yates % "Midnight, on the water... %% Fuquay-Varina, NC % I saw... the ocean's daughter." %%% 919-577-9882 % 'Can't Get It Out Of My Head' %%%% <yates@ieee.org> % *El Dorado*, Electric Light Orchestra http://home.earthlink.net/~yatescr

Don't necessarily need video ports(most output to network) but for some things would be helpful. Alex
