The TMS320DM6446 device has a rich set of peripherals; however, many of these peripherals are multiplexed with each other, and only one is available at a time.Perhaps the best example of a multiplexing scenario found on the TMS320DM6446 device is the asynchronous external memory interface (EMIFA). The pins that make up this interface are multiplexed to service NAND flash, NOR flash, CF, hard

Currently, the DaVinciв„ў evaluation module (DVEVM) supports three boot modes: the DVEVM can boot from NOR (default), NAND, or universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART). NOR Flash offers the advantages of one-byte random access and execute-in-place technology. NAND Flash is not as easy to work with since it requires Flash Translation Layer (FTL) software to make it accessible; however

The Preview Engine block in the DaVinci video processing sub-system (VPSS) provides some critical functions for image and video processing. These functions, if implemented in software, require a significant number of computations in terms of million instructions per second (MIPs). By offloading these functions, the valuable MIPs can be used for more differentiating tasks, such as video compression
