[GSoC] Co-Processors Update #6

GNU Radio
1

Hello all,

Logistical:

  • GSoC students don’t forget to provide a quick update at the dev call
    July
    17th 1700 UTC
  • One month left until pencils down

Progress:

  • I was able to open the FFTC driver handle successfully so I can now
    send
    it data! I used a different approach that does communication with the
    FFTC
    through the DSP cores so first need to write a little test then I need
    to
    figure out the ARM<==>DSP communication through their resource manager
    system. It should be painless from here on out since I’m now debugging
    reasonable errors instead of crazy memory descriptor dma allocation
    errors.
    I plan to update the wiki soon and push some code this week/weekend.

  • Took a thorough look at the CppUnit testing suite to better understand
    the qa done in the runtime in an effort to make hacking runtime easier.
    Will release my notes before the call on thursday.

Thanks everyone for the guidance.
