Ticket Name: Processor Capable to decode MJPEG/H.264 for 4 Ethernet HD Camera Input

Query Text:
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TDA2, TDA2E Hi, We have project on having 3 or 4 HD Ethernet connection camera for Automotive and need to be display on LCD screen. Format output from HD Camera will be MJPEG or H.264 in AVB packet ot RTP packet. Frame size are 1080 x 720 with 30fps (can be adjust base on requirement. All the camera will input to a 4 port switch and having 1 output RGMII to CPU and display on the screen. The project are similar to Arround View Monitor, however on the LCD will have 3 section to display individual camera picture. The main task of the processor will be received the packet -> reconstruct the packet become a valid frame -> decode the frame -> rescale to LCD section size -> convert to RGB and display on LCD. 1) Did TDA2 or TDA2e are capable on handling the processing of the MJPEG and H.264 for 4 camera with no frame drop problem? 2) Any parts that can be recommend to me? 3) For TDA2 or TDA2e, what will be the OS using? 4) What is the bundle of the whole Evaluation Kit + Software part number sot that I can get quote from Avnet Supplier? 5) Any tranining material that I can refer to for the TDA2 or TDA2e, so that I can get more understand of the product. Thanks KJ Lee

Hello KJ Lee, TDA2 is capable of handling the 4-MJPEG streams through Ethernet. We do have lightweight AVB stack which handles network receive for MJPEG frames. For TDA2 devices we have Vision SDK software stack which has demos for network application similar one you are trying to do. The Vision SDK is based on TI RTOS. You can go through below for understanding more about TDA2 & TI Vision SDK. http://www.ti.com/lit/wp/spry260/spry260.pdf http://www.ti.com/lsds/ti/processors/dsp/automotive_processors/tdax_adas_socs/overview.page For part no & training videos I will get back to you once consult with my team members. If you have queries please let me know. Thanks. Regards, Prasad

Hi Here is my comments, 1) Did TDA2 or TDA2e are capable on handling the processing of the MJPEG and H.264 for 4 camera with no frame drop problem? [Shiju] yes, you can use either TDA2x or TDA2ex for 4ch (1280x720 30fps) AVB capture + MJPEG/H264 decode + processing + display. 2) Any parts that can be recommend to me? [Shiju] Try with TDA2xx EVM, you can order the same from spectrum digital, or contact TI fields/sales 3) For TDA2 or TDA2e, what will be the OS using? [Shiju] on A15 you can use either Bios (TI RTOS) or any HLOS like Linux. Bios can be run on other cores (M4, DSP). 4) What is the bundle of the whole Evaluation Kit + Software part number sot that I can get quote from Avnet Supplier? [Shiju] You might Get the TDA2xx EVM + LCD display & Code Compose Studio as development/debugging platform. For debugging/connecting-to-target you need to use XDS560, same can be ordered from spectrum digital 5) Any tranining material that I can refer to for the TDA2 or TDA2e, so that I can get more understand of the product. [Shiju] search for TI automotive offerings, for details on TDA2xx devices. You can also download the TI automotive SW package “vision SDK” from CDDS, where we do have an example use case for 4ch (1280x720 30fps) AVB capture + MJPEG decode +.mosaic display. Regards, Shiju

Hi Lee Added "vision SDK" SW download links - Vision SDK v02.10.00.00 Release Notes : cdds.ext.ti.com/.../emxNavigator.jsp Vision SDK v02.10.00.00 Release package - Linux Installer : cdds.ext.ti.com/.../emxNavigator.jsp Vision SDK v02.10.00.00 Release package - Windows Installer : cdds.ext.ti.com/.../emxNavigator.jsp regards, Shiju

Hi Prasad, As I walk through the website, TDA2x development for the software only need CCS (TI-RTOS) and SDK. Correct if I'm wrong. 1) I'm waiting the part number of TDA2x processor + Evaluation kit part number so that I can request price from Avnet and plan for the project budget. 2) Which of TDA2x series that I can choose to use as I can't any information from the website? 3) Did TI-RTOS need to purchase or it come with Code Composer Studio (CCS) IDE? 4) Can I said that CCS mainly used with TI-RTOS for controlling the processor and communication to outside like CAN, Ethernet... etc? 5) Can I said that Vision SDK are using together with CCS IDE? 6) I need to buy the Vision SDK? 7) Any advantage of using TI-RTOS compare to HLOS like Linux? 8) for the CCS IDE are one time purchase? 9) Do I need to purchase library stack for MJPEG, Ethernet (AVB) , H.264... etc? Or are included in Vision SDK? Thanks KJ Lee

Hi KJ Lee, Vision SDK is comprehensive SW package which can help you get started with what you need. There is no separate cost for it but you need to get NDA signed for it, otherwise its not available. All the SW stacks like mjpeg, AVB, etc are included in the SDK. There is also example demo showing AVB capture - display. CCS IDE provides debugging and development environment for Vision SDK. I will try to get a local sales representative contact you. regards Yashwant

Hi Yashwant, We had done NDA signed between us, Avnet, and TI for the ADAS aplication. Currently we are looking for the suitable processor and estimate the project cost as for start. Is that license charge when using Vision SDK and commercial the product? Other than Evaluation board, emulator (purchase from 3rd party), CCS IDE need to purchase from TI, any other cost like license we need to pay as well? Thanks. KJ Lee
