[maemo-developers] DSP programming

2006-01-18 Thread Antti P Miettinen
I just took a brief look at what is required for programming for the DSP in the 770. It seems that building your own modules is possible with publically awailable tools and documents. At least I got the demo_console from DSP gateway loaded and it seems to run OK. The following is what I did.

I was not able to restart the DSP gateway dynamic loader (there is an init script for dld) so I just rebooted my 770. After boot there should be a /dev/dsptask/demo_console if the dld managed to load the module. 'killall dsp_dld' will also work without having to reboot. The dsme daemon will

[maemo-developers] Installed perl / PDL on the Nokia 770

I finally found the bug. The Xpm library is missing in the Nokia 770 but is available in maemo. Definitely the two platforms are not identical. I have successfully installed PDL with only the plplot library (which is enough for most purposes). Which implicitly implies installing perl too.
