@AmpBenzScientist @PawelK in any case, this is good news, because it means i can write control values straight into the fastest RAM on the DSP to change parameters in real time. i can offload a lot of duties this way.
@lore @PawelK That is good news.
It sounds like an easier task than uploading to one of my FPGAs. None of the methods or software work. Essentially useless unless I want to reverse again but with a FPGA and MCU. Combine that with drivers and yeah, Curwa Mac.
I actually got the FPGAs so I wouldn't need to reverse again. So many layers of irony.
@lore @PawelK When combined with the right components, they will rip and tear through data like nothing else. It can be a coprocessor when needed.
My FPGAs have capable MCUs onboard. RISC-V single core freaks with DSP functionally. Ideally I would be working with around four times the LUTS but it was the strongest available. It does have the Sodimm DDR3 form so I could potentially just use 4 of them. It's a rather strong performer. I think it's got around 1gb of quick memory.
Performance wise, it might be around the same as the Blackfin. I believe it can recreate a similar performing core and run an RTOS. Approximately 20k LUTs with decent memory speeds and capacity is nothing to sneeze at. A Mister FPGA could stomp it out but that's about it for lower end hardware.
@AmpBenzScientist @PawelK FPGAs can do "everything" but in some respect, they're a brute force solution.
"let's put every conceivable logic gate on a chip and have them configure themselves from a ROM (or Flash)"
it's flexible, but hardly the most elegant approach. and if you can find the right ASIC for the job, it's generally going to be more performant.
