All, I have been trying to resolve an issue that I am facing with McASP transfer and receive drivers on TI's DaVinci TMS320DM6437 DVEVM.
My workspace does: * a real-time video decode in one thread and * a simple audio loopback (only receive and transfer using McASP driver as illustrated by TI's DVSDK for DM6437) in another thread. The audio that I hear at the output is recognizable but noisy (a crackling noise and what seems to be a distortion of the input). The noise becomes louder as the volume of the input (audio source) increases. (The audio source of is clear of any such noise). Other aspects/clues: * Audio loopback thread is at a higher priority. * If the McASP transfer is used to play out audio that is decoded/stored in memory, not captured (audio data is captured but discarded), then the audio noise goes away. * If McBSP is used instead of McASP, the audio noise is still heard. --- * If the video decode is turned off the audio noise goes away. * The video decoder uses only QDMA channels, not any EDMA channels (that might cause a resource clash with McASP driver) * Video decoder is interfaced via Codec Engine. * Video decoder uses DMAN and DSKT2 to acquire all resources and no hard-coding is done in the decoder with respect to acquiring resources. * Code generation and other tools versions: o Platform Support Package (PSP) version: 1.00.00.01 o Codec Engine version: 1.20 o Code Composer Studio version: 3.3.38.2 o DSP/BIOS version: 5.31.02 o Code Generation tools: v6.0.10 I do not suspect: * that the video decoder consumes the entire DSP CPU load or * that the DDR bandwidth is the constraining factor here. I was wondering if anyone on this mailing list has encountered a similar issue, i.e. a noise in audio capture or audio playout when a DSP software module runs in the background. Please, do help out in case you have a clue as to what may be causing this audio noise. Thanks.
