Texas Instruments Codec Engine Server - Manual (Page 15)

Where Can I Get More Information?
Codec Engine Overview 1-9
❏ Various Codec packages from Algorithm Creators
❏ A Codec Server DSP executable from the Server Integrator if codec
will run on a DSP
❏ An Engine config file (.cfg) from the Engine Integrator
The Application Author write application code, generates output from the
Engine configuration file (.c and .xdl output files) using the XDC Tools,
compiles the application code and generated files. This person then links
the files, including the generated linker command file (.xdl) into an
executable. The end result is the application executable.
The process for generating an application executable is highly dependant
on the application's operating system. If the application runs on the DSP
using DSP/BIOS, for example, a .tcf file is needed to configure the
DSP/BIOS kernel as well. If the application runs on Linux, the application
does not need to configure the operating system.
The Application Author uses the following resources:
❏ Codec Engine Application Developer’s Guide (SPRUE67)
❏ Codec Engine API Reference.

❏ Example Build and Run Instructions.
