<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is a port for the TI C55X, in the TI
directory of the source tree. This builds and runs directly on the TI C55x
simulator (Code Composer). I have run this on the Spectrum Digital C5509A
EVMPLUS board, by modifying some of the sample audio drivers (I could provide
some details if you chose that board). </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>You
can certainly get started in the simulator.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Speex port does not include any assembly
optimization for TI, so that is an area that you might be interested in.
If you are considering the Speex echo canceller, that could greatly benefit from
a TI-optimized FFT. I have not used the preprocessor myself.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You should plan on providing external memory for
your DSP if you are doing more than the basic codec. Speex runs fairly
efficiently in C on TI DSPs, but it has a big footprint.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope this in helpful in getting started with the
DSP target. I will defer to Jean-Marc on how to contribute to the
project.</FONT></DIV>

involved in Speex Fixed-PointDevelopment? </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV style="DIRECTION: ltr">Hi,<BR><BR>My name is Jean Quirion and I am a DSP
engineer. Currently I am<BR>working on a project where it is desired to
implement a VoIP solution<BR>over a GSM GPRS link. I would like to use Speex
as the vocoder for<BR>this application. This application would require the
Speex<BR>encoder/decoder and possibly the pre-processor to run on a low
power<BR>fixed-point DSP such as a TI C55x.<BR><BR>Thus, I am interested in
getting involved in the fixed-point<BR>implementation of Speex. I feel I can
contribute significantly to the<BR>Speex project while effectively developing
a vocoder solution for my<BR>project.<BR><BR>Can you tell me how I can get
started? I looked at the list of tasks<BR>on the Seepx wiki and I find that
the following would be best suited<BR>for my interests:<BR><BR>Complete
fixed-point (DSP development)<BR>• Rest of the narrowband
modes<BR>• Preprocessor (noise suppression, AGC)<BR>•
Jitter buffer<BR><BR>Please let me know how to move
forward. Where does the Speex vocoder<BR>fixed-point implementation stands?
Has if been successfully ported and<BR>tested onto a TI DSP evaluation board
(i.e. an EVM)? If not, and if it<BR>can be helpful, I would be interested in
tackling that task…<BR><BR>Sincerely,<BR></DIV>
