DSP/BIOS Real-Time Analysis (RTA) and Debugging
Brian Jeff
Arnie Reynoso
DSP/BIOS and the Reference Frameworks allow developers to non-intrusively instrument
real-time applications. The software provided with this application note applies real-time
analysis (RTA) services to a working application-a H.263 encode/decode loopback
example for the TMS320DM642 evaluation module. The software demonstrates
techniques for benchmarking and controlling video software. It also introduces a service to
programmatically measure CPU and TSK loading. Debugging and troubleshooting
techniques for real-time applications, using Code Composer Studio, is also discussed.
