armdsp - a simple framework for developing dsp programs for the TI OMAP Pace Willisson pace@alum.mit.edu July 3, 2010 * Overview armdsp adds the ability to run bare metal dsp programs on an arm linux system running on the TI OMAP processor. The main components are: armdsp.ko - an arm kernel module for setting up the dsp rundsp - an arm program for loading a dsp binary into memory, and then starting the dsp armhost - an arm program that communicates with the dsp through shared memory and provides debug printouts The directory example/ shows how your dsp application will be structured. * Prerequisites Board: tested with Zoom OMAP-L138 EVM and the Hawkboard Host system: Ubuntu 9.10 or similar TI DSP compiler (cl6x, etc) ARM compiler (arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc, etc) ARM kernel, configured and compiled 32 megabytes of free DDR memory on the OMAP in the range 0xc4000000...0xc8000000. You can do this on a 64 megabyte board by telling linux to use only the first 32 megabytes 4k bytes of free shared ram at 0x80000000 on the OMAP * Configuration There's no auto configuration yet. In the mean time, edit the following variables by hand. They appear in Makefile, example/Makefile and the script armdsp-link ** KERNELDIR /opt/hawkboard/linux-omapl1 or /opt/ti/linux-03.20.00.11/ ** ARMDSP_DIR /usr/local/armdsp ** ARMDSP_NFSROOT default /arm ARMDSP_NFSROOT is optional, and is used in "make test" to put files where the arm can get at them. * Compilation host$ make host# make install * Testing Send the files to the arm with: host$ make test Log into the arm with two windows. In the first run: arm# armdsp-ldmod arm# armhost armhost is now waiting for messages from the dsp, and will print them out on the armhost standard output. In the other window, run: arm# rundsp dsptest.dsp (the dsp will be started, and a message will be printed in the armhost window) Your normal development cycle will be to leave armhost running while you update your application and execute "rundsp" to start each new version. * Theory of operation armdsp uses two areas of memory: 1. the fist page of the shared memory (address 0x80000000) 2. 32 megabytes of DDR ram (address 0xc4000000) The first 512 bytes of the shared memory page is used for the dsp interrupt vector table. The dsp will start executing from the start of this table when it comes out of reset. The dsp program is loaded in the lower part of the DDR ram, and the dsp stack is set to the top. The middle of the shared memory page is used to support the TI C runtime library functions with names such as HOSTwrite, etc, and which implement simple file-like io. These functions are normally used with a jtag emulator to transfer messages between the dsp and to the host development system. The TI library is nicely designed, so that simply defining the functions writemsg and readmsg in the dsp application allows the same mechanism to be used to communicate through shared memory with the "armhost" program The protocol is adequate for debug messages, but you'll need to implement something custom with other areas of shared memory for a real application.
