Can GNU Radio run on TI DSP environment?

GNU Radio
1

Hello,

I am new to GNU Radio. Currently I am considering to implement basic
software
radio and signal processing on TI DSP environment, such as TI
TMS320C674x and
C647x DSPs and the evaluation boards.

I know GNU radio are usually running on PC environments for Linux or
Window OS,
but can it also run on TI DSP? If it can, how can I do it?

Thanks

As a starting point, look here:

http://beagleboard.org/

In this case GNU radio runs on the ARM core side of an OMAP 3530 device
(not on the DSP core). OMAP 3xxx devices can
be found in some smart phones, for example Mot Droid and Palm Pre.

Another area to look into is TI’s recent announcment for a native,
factory Linux running on their DSP cores, for
example 6-core C6474 device. I have not heard of a GNU radio port (or
any other popular open source sw, such as
Asterisk) but I’m sure people are working on it.

Thanks!

For the native, factory Linux running on their DSP cores, do you mean
DSP/BIOS
real-time OS?

No, I mean Linux. It’s a big deal for TI – they should have had a
factory Linux 10 years ago, but for whatever
reasons they were way late to join the crowd.

That’s really cool if Linux can run on TI multi-core DSP TMS320C6474!

Where can I get this factory Linux, I don’t find it at TI’s website.
Should I
ask TI guys for it?

Thanks!

Several links are mentioned on this page:

also you could post on e2e.ti.com and ask TI guys.
