Where Can I Get More Information?

❏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.

CE_INSTALL_DIR/docs/html/index.html

❏Example Build and Run Instructions.
